The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi and his wife, Olori Naomi Silekunola have welcomed a son.

The beautiful monarch’s wife has been out of public view for a while.

In October 2018, Oba Ogunwusi got married to Prophetess Silekunola Morenike Naomi Oluwaseyi.Oba Ogunwusi

Expectedly, the wedding was all over the media and on the lips of Nigerians.

He married the Prophetess after the sudden break up of his second marriage with Zaynab Otiti (Olori Wuraola)

The announcement of the Prophetess as the new Olori marked the first time a renowned Nigerian traditional ruler or their spouse also serves as a minister of the Gospel.

Oba Ogunwusi said in July that he would name his unborn prince after the 49th Ooni of Ife Oba Adesoji Tadenikawo Aderemi.

His only other biological child is Princess Adeola Ogunwusi, who is in her 20s.

The king had her when he was 19.

Olori Silekunola is the king’s third wife.

His first two marriages reportedly did not produce any child.

The New Diplomat had reported in July 2020 that the renowned monarch adopted a 17-year-old boy who drew his portrait with pencil as son.
