Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has expressed shock at the transition of the Olowu of Owu Kingdom, Oba Olusanya Dosunmu, Amororo II.
The Ogun State Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Hon. Afolabi AFUWAPE, announced the death of the First Class Ọba in Abeokuta, on Tuesday. Kabieesi’s demise was announced 48 hours after, as he gave up the ghost on December 12.
Ọba Dosunmu ascended the throne in 2005 as the 13th Olowu after Oba Adewale Adisa Odeleye, Lagbedu 1 who transited to glory in 2003.
In a condolence message issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Kunle Somorin in Abeokuta, Gov. Abiodun described Oba Dosunmu as “a quintessential monarch, a man of peace and a passionate supporter of development.”
While condoling with the monarch’s immediate family and the people of Owu, the governor said they should take solace in the lasting impact he had on his domain.
He prayed that “God Almighty grants Kabiyesi’s soul eternal repose and the people he left behind the fortitude to bear this loss”, the statement surmised.
