“We believe the emergence of Oba Abiodun will bring positive global attention to Ogombo Kingdom as well as Oke-Ogun region and its people progress, we also pray that the King will live long on the throne,” Raji said in the statement.

He lauded the government of Lagos State for making the installation of the first monarch of Ogombo kingdom seamless.
