Today was the
formal coronation of the 51st Ooni of Ife; Oba Enitan Adeyeye
Ogunwusi, Ojaja II. The splendorous ceremony
was held at the Palace Square in the ancient city of Ife, Osun State and attended by
Nigeria’s elite, which included the Vice President of Nigeria; Vice president
Yemi Osinbanjo, the Sultan of Sokoto, Amirul
Mumineen Sultan Muhammadu Sa'ad Abubakar IV; Governor Akinwunmi Amode- current
governor of Lagos- former governor of Lagos state; Bola Ahmed Tinubu and
several Nigerian artistes.
The new Ooni, looking
regal in his royal robes, made a speech after giving the staff of Office by the
Osun State Governor; Governor Aregbesola and watching him speak with so much
sincerity and charm, it’s no wonder he was chosen as late Oba Sijuade’s
successor. Sincerity and commitment are two main virtues of any ruler and that
is what his majesty has. Like he said, this is a new dawn for Ife and I wish
him a long and prosperous reign.
