“I believe that your vision for Owu Kingdom is aligned to ours as we continue to ensure focused and qualitative governance and to create the enabling environment for a public private sector partnership.

“We consider such partnership as fundamental to the creation of an enduring economic development and individual prosperity of the people of Ogun,” he said.

He expressed appreciation for the support that his administration had continued to receive from the people since he assumed office as governor of Ogun.

“We appreciate those who out of genuine desire for the economic growth and their people have offered plausible policy options, encouragement and candid advice to us like the Balogun Owu, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo.

“He has been with us through thick and thin’’, Abiodun said.

Speaking after his installment, Matemilola commended the leadership of the Otileta dynasty for carrying out a credible and fair selection process in spite of many challenges.

He acknowledged the “uniqueness” of the stool of the Olowu of Owu kingdom and its responsibilities.

“To rule over such a unique domain with a rich history and heritage requires great leadership qualities and capabilities

“As I step into my new role as Olowu, U will be following in a long line of remarkable Olowus who have all made lasting impacts on Owu kingdom,” he said.

The new Olowu, who acknowledged the immense expectations of his subjects, promised that with their support and help of God, he would move the kingdom to greater heights.

“We have already mapped out an ambitious agenda designed to usher in unity, peace, prosperity and pride in Owu people. We also have a clear strategy on how we intend to go about them,” he said.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the throne of  Owu kingdom became vacant on Dec. 12, 2021 following the death of the immediate traditional ruler,  late Oba Adegboyega Dosumu who ascended the throne in 2005.

NAN reports that Obasanjo, the Balogun of Owu, who unavoidably absent at the ceremony , was represented by his wife, Bola Obasanjo. (NAN)
