Prince Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, will today be
installed Ooni, few hours after leaving Ilofi, Iremo,
yesterday evening.
It would be recalled that the Ooni-elect began the
traditional rites at Ilofi, a place of preparation for
new Ooni, on October 30 and was expected to have
left on November 19, after spending 21 days.
Informed sources, however, disclosed that a few
more days were added to ensure that all the rites
were completed before the coronation would take
place.
It was also learned that the coronation of Ogunwusi
will not be done in the open. A palace source told
newsmen that the new Ooni will be installed in Ile
Oodua, stressing that the new monarch will be
entering the palace for the first time as an Oba
today.
He added: “ In line with the demand of Ile Ife
customs and traditions, his coronation will hold
behind closed doors. Only the Isoros and Ife chiefs
will be involved but I can confirm that it will be
done inside the palace.”
In a chat with newsmen, former Special Adviser on
Youth and Sports to Osun State Governor, Mr. Biyi
Odunlade, confirmed that the new Ooni will be
crowned today inside Ile Oodua but added that the
event will not be open to the public.
