His Imperial Majesty, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, the Ooni of Ife, has, for the third time in his Seven-year reign, married. He is now, officially married to Mariam Anako, who automatically, becomes his Olori.
The new wife of Ooni of Ife arrived late on Tuesday at the Palace of the Monarch in Ile-Ife, Osun State.
The new wife was ushered into the palace after brief rites at the entrance to the Palace.
She was thereafter led into the inner court of the Palace to meet her husband and other guests waiting to receive her.
Oba Ogunwusi in a video shared on the Facebook page of his spokesperson, Moses Olafare, around 10:30 pm on Tuesday, was assisted by Chiefs and close aides to welcome the new wife into the Palace.
Also, Ooni’s elder brother, Sooko Adegboyega Ogunwusi, and the Monarch’s other siblings were present.
During the ceremony, Anako’s relations from Ebiraland in Kogi State and Ilorin in Kwara State were also present and they took turn to greet Ooni.
The new wife is coming into the Palace about 10 months after Naomi Silekunola, the last wife of the monarch left him.
Specifically, Naomi announced separation from the Monarch on Thursday, December 23, 2021, thus ending a marriage that produced a son, Tadenikawo and lasted for about three years.
