Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi has emerged
the new Ooni of Ife after the traditional kingmakers from within the family
chose him from the descendents of the Yoruba god Oduduwa in consultation with
their oracle, Ifa, ITRealms reports.
The
40-year-old prince and real
estate magnate from the Giesi Ruling House in Ife kingdom was selected after the demise
of the previous Ooni of Ife, Oba Sijuwade,
who died in July at the age of 85.
ITRealms gathered that the Secretary to the Osun State Government announced
that the selection of the new Ooni followed the completion of all processes for
the filling of the exalted stool.
Ogunwusi becomes the 51st Ooni of Ife having defeated the other 21 candidates presented by the Giesi ruling house for the exalted stool.
The statement, made available to Premium Times has it that, “The Governor of the State of Osun, Ogbeni Rauf Adesoji Aregbesola has approved the appointment of a new Ooni of Ife. It read:
“He is Prince Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi of Giesi Ruling House of Ile-Ife, State of Osun.
“This choice follows the completion of the due process by the kingmakers and the communication of their decision to Government.”
Mr. Ogunwusi attended The Polytechnic of Ibadan, where he obtained a Higher National Diploma (HND) in Accountancy. He is also a certified member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria and of the Institute of Management. After school, he grew swiftly in business, to become a successful real estate merchant, ITRealms learnt.
