It was jubilation galore at Ile-Ife, Osun State on Thursday, as Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, received his new wife at the palace, a day after he marked his 44th birthday.
The marriage rights were done privately in Akure, Ondo State and she was later received at the Ooni’s palace.
The new queen prophetess Shilekunola Moronke Naomi has officially begun her duty as Yeyeluwa of the Source after holding some engagements in the palace – with residents recognising her new status and paying homage to her in Ile-Ife, Osun state.
The new wife is a Prophetess/Evangelist and also the Founder/President of EN-HERALDS, a prophetic mandate and an interdenominational ministry in Akure, Ondo state, Nigeria.
The 25-year-old Ondo born was said to have started public ministry at the age of eighteen before she ventured into full time ministering in October 19, 2011.
Meanwhile, the palace of the Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, has revealed why the king opted for Olori Moronke Naomi Silekunola Ogunwusi.
The palace said he married the woman because of the spiritual strength she will bring to the kingdom and the fear of God in her.
Ooni’s marriage to his ex-queen, Wuraola (real name Zaynab Otiti Obanor), crashed last year August.
Speaking after the breakup, Wuraola described her relationship with the Ooni as an old chapter, and tagged her new status ”a new chapter” aimed at fighting boldly and fearlessly for the rights of women.
She said: “What I can confirm is that the Ooni and I are no more. I inhale love & exhale gratitude. My journey continues as a Humanitarian aiding women and victims of domestic violence & abuse with the United Nations.
