Following the completion of pre-
installation rites by the Ooni-elect, Prince
Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, he will today
(Monday) be installed the 51st Ooni of
Ile-Ife, the cradle of Yoruba nation.
The Ooni-elect had been restricted to
Ilofi since Friday, October 30, 2015 for
further installation rites along with
tutelage on his functions as an Ooni.
It was gathered that the coronation of
Ogunwusi will not be done in the open
but rather in Ile Oodua.
A source hinted that the new monarch
will be entering the palace for the first
time as an Oba today.
“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 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.
