Viewers Corner was informed by our source in Osogbo, Osun state (Nigeria) that the 40-year old Prince Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi is the new Ooni of Ife. Prince Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi who is a real estate merchant is from the Giesi ruling house in Ile-Ife and the 51st Ooni of Ife.
The Secretary to the State Government (SSG) in Osun state, Alhaji Moshood Adeoti announced earlier today that Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun state has approved the appointment of Prince Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi as the new Ooni of Ife. The new Ooni of Ife will replace late Oba Okunade Sijuwade who died after a brief illness at a London clinic on July 28, 2015.
The last descendant of the Giesi ruling house who occupied the position of Ooni of Ife before Prince Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi’s appointment was Ooni Derin Ologbenla, between 1880 to 1894.
Viewers Corner congratulates Prince Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi as the new Ooni of Ife and we wish him success on his reign as the Ooni of Ife land.
