Ooni of Ile Ife & Queen Naomi Ogunwusi Settles As Akure and Ile Ife Elders Met The Family

The Oodua elders and Akure Family made a last-minute move to reconcile the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, and his estranged wife, Prophetess Naomi Silekunola. Sources in the palace quoted in the report said some of the elders have contacted Prophetess Naomi in a bid to reconcile their differences.

According to the report by Punch the elders’ team was comprised of traditional rulers and prominent members of Ife community.

A source quoted in the report said:

“The babas (elders) are meeting on it. We pray that they can reconcile them. Everybody is in a sobber mood. The issues we heard could cause the divorce are reconcilable. We learnt Ooni is not aware of the divorce too.”

A close monarch to Ooni, who confirmed the move by the elders also said:

“A statement from the palace will confirm the outcome.”

It was later reported that the Queen’s Mother asked for forgiveness

Recall that Queen Naomi recently announced the end of her marriage to the monarch on social media recently. She also made it known that the decision to move on did not stem from the fact that the king married another woman. According to the mum of one, throughout their union, she was the only married woman to the Ooni, adding that she endured the marriage and tried several times to make it work.
