Mabogunje 2:10:52 PM adekunle Let me join in welcoming everyone to this august Lecture being given as part of the activities for launching the Endowment Fund for instituting the Oba Sikiru Adetona Professorial Chair in Governance in the Department of Political Science at the Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State. I confess that when I got a phone call from Kabiyesi some time in August last year, I was very curious to know what I have done to deserve such a call since more often than not it was I who usually call Kabiyesi on one issue or the other. I was even more curious as Kabiyesi spelt out the purpose of the call. This was to put me on notice that I should be prepared to deliver a public lecture on the occasion of the launching of the Endownment Fund for instituting a professorial Chair at Olabisi Onabanjo University in his honour. As a loyal subject of Kabiyesi, I did not think I had any option but to say "Yes, Sir". Later communication then indicated the topic of the lecture I was meant to deliver.
