Obende was appointed chairman of the Board of Directors of the Edo State Urban Water Board, and became Executive Chairman of a number of companies in Nigeria and the United Kingdom.[2]

Political career

In the 2007 elections, Obende competed unsuccessfully in the PDP primary for Edo North Senate seat, he later became the Vice Chairman of PDP, Edo North Senatorial District.

He was a member of the PDP National Electoral Panel representing Edo State at the 2008 PDP Congress.[3]

In the 9 April 2011 elections, Obende ran on the ACN platform. He faced Alhaji Yisa Braimoh, and defeated him whereby making him to become the Senator elect of Edo North Senatorial District, who during the campaign accused Obende of producing numerous false certificates. He took Obende to several courts and at the end of the day the cases were dismissed in favour of Senator Domingo Alaba Obende. At the High Court in Abuja he was asked to pay 100,000.00 naira only as charge in favour of Senator Obende for which he challenged also at the Court of Appeal but in delivering judgment at the Court of Appeal, he was equally asked to pay 30,000.00 only.

Obende said that he opposes President Goodluck Jonathan's proposal for a single-term six-year tenure.[4] Of this, he says: "A governor comes for six years; he loots the whole treasury and goes away. Putting them in jail will not solve the problem. What will solve the problem and fix this country is for every governor and every head of state to develop their various states and Nigeria by implication. So, I do not buy that idea and I don’t think this bill will fly."[4]
