According to her, she said, before she got married to Oba Adeyeye Enitan Babatunde Ogunwusi, she had worked in different fields. “For several parts of my life, I had worked in the event management sector for about 15 years. But at the later part of my life,
I worked with the Government. I first served in the government of Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN, the former Governor of Lagos State for a couple of years.

“Later, after I served in his administration, I also served in the government of His Excellency, Mr Akinwumi Ambode in Lagos State”.

Recounting some of her life experiences, Olori Temitope narrated how she was raised by Godly fearing parents who taught her how to have the fear of God.

Olori Temitope who said she was born into the families of Mr. & Mrs. Adesegun who hails from the Ibirepo Royal Family in Ago Iwoye, Ogun State with five other beautiful girls raised to become virtuous women.

Olori Temitope revealed to Treasure Newspaper that it is her inborn calling to always love to serve the less privileged ones in the society.

“My major goal on earth was to render an unconditional service to humanity. Serving humanity has been the only thing I strongly believe is the reason why God enthroned me as Ooni’s Wife.

She described the Ooni of Ile Ife, Oba Ogunwusi as a being whose life is mostly dedicated to serve humanity. She said she believe the reason God Almighty directed her own path towards the King was for her to leverage on his name, position and influence to impart lives and lift the downtrodden out of their low life styles and poverty.

Referring to Oba Ogunwusi, Olori Temitope stated, one of the major reasons why God made him a King was to make sure that the aspect of his primary purpose was to be fulfilled in his calling.

“Also, last week, I was in Ekiti State where stationeries were distributed to about 10 different schools. We are limited because our resources are still limited. That is why, the Stanbic IBTC came to our rescue to help the school children in Ekiti to have writing materials.
