In a goodwill message released on the occasion, Senior High Chief Asonja praised Princess Odu’s long-standing contributions to governance and community development in Ondo State, noting that her years in public office were defined by diligence, selflessness, and a deep commitment to the progress of the state.

According to Asonja, Princess Odu’s tenure as SSG remains a reference point for effective administration, consensus-building, and principled leadership. He noted that the former SSG played a pivotal role in strengthening institutional frameworks and fostering unity across political and social divides, qualities that continue to inspire younger generations of leaders.

“Princess Oladunni Odu is a woman whose life exemplifies service, humility, and unwavering dedication to the common good,” Asonja said. “At 73, her wealth of experience and counsel remain invaluable, not only to Ondo State but to the nation at large.”

The Tantita Coordinator further commended Princess Odu for her calm demeanor and approach to issues of governance, emphasizing that her influence extends beyond public office into mentorship and community leadership.
