He was educated in Nigeria, England, and the United States of America.
He holds the traditional title of Jagunmolu of Ibadan, Oyo State.
He belongs to the Okun majority ethnic group.
Jemibewon was General Officer Commanding First Infantry Division.
In August 1975 he was appointed governor of Western State replacing Akintunde Aduwo, who had held office for just 30 days.
In March 1976 Western State was divided in Ogun, Ondo and Oyo.
Jemibewon continued as governor of Oyo State.
Later he became Adjutant General of the Nigerian Army.
After retiring from the army Jemibewon earned a degree in law at the University of Lagos.
He then opened a successful legal practice.
He was also involved in palm oil trading.
When Obasanjo was charged and convicted for alleged complicity in a coup plot in 1995, Jemibewon and General Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma successfully interceded on his behalf with the military head of state General Sani Abacha.
Jemibewon was chairman of the constitution drafting committee of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in 1998 during preparations for the 1998/1999 democratic elections that ushered in the Nigerian Fourth Republic.
and later as Minister of Police Affairs in the cabinet of President Olusegun Obasanjo after the return to democracy (1999 to 2000).
He was a contender for the Kogi West Senatorial District in Kogi State.
Appointed Minister for Police Affairs in Obasanjo's first cabinet in June 1999, he introduced a five-year plan for the recovery of the police, adding 33,000 police officers, setting up the Nigeria police service commission, and better equipping the police to cope with the task of internal security.
Speaking on behalf of Obasanjo at the 9th International Anti-Corruption Conference in South Africa, in December 1999, David Jemibewon told the conference that "To sustain democracy, we have to keep itching fingers and greedy eyes off the public till. Those in power must be accountable to the people."
In the run up to the April 2003 Senatorial elections for Kogi West, he was the main competitor to the incumbent Tunde Ogbeha for the PDP candidature.
He was unsuccessful in the bid, and Ogbeha went on to be elected for a second term.
However, he remained a member of the PDP and a member of the PDP Board of Trustees.
In August 2003 Jemibewon was listed as a director of EBS Nigeria, a company relatively unknown before June 2006 when it emerged as a big player in a N2.5 billion contract for anti-retroviral drugs from the Federal Ministry of Health.
