The Paramount Ruler of Odo-Ayandelu Kingdom of Ikosi/Ejinrin LCDA, Epe Division was born on 17th July 1962 to Prince Asunmobiu Omolaja Balogun, a member of the Jamade ruling house and the first Muslim cleric (Chief Imam) to visit Mecca and Princess Latifatu Balogun nee Oyefolu, from the Olufoworesete ruling house of Imota, Lagos State.

Coming from a very humble background with his father plying his trade in the bicycle repairs vocation, his mother on the other hand was a trader and farmer, an occupation predominant in the agrarian community.

It is worthy to note that Oba Asunmo Aderibigbe has no doubt carved his niche not only as a respectable monarch but also as a record-breaking builder through his enviable exploits in the building industry.

Many thanks to his years of dedication, commitment and unflinching resolve to be outstanding in his chosen career.

Coming from his work experience at the National Directorate of Employment (NDE) where he served in the public works department, Oba Aderibigbe took it a notch further by securing and eking a living at the defunct National Electric Power Authority, NEPA, and Power Holding Company of Nigeria, PHCN, as a masonry officer IV.

As a proven academic enthusiast, Oba Aderibigbe enrolled on a part-time programme in Building Technology at the Yaba College of Technology in 1989 and obtained the National Diploma and Higher National Diploma in 1997.
