NIGERIA: THE Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, on Sunday, disclosed that his ascension to the throne had been foretold by the Osile Oke-Ona Egba, Oba Adedapo Tejuoso.
Oba Ogunwusi, who made this known during his visit to Oba Tejuoso in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, said that the prediction, which he never took serious, had come to pass.
He said that without mincing words, the Osile told him, some years ago when he attended the wedding of one of the late Sijuwade`s children in Ile-Ife, that he would definitely be the next Ooni of Ife.
Oba Ogunwusi further stated that Oba Tejuoso, who met him on the occasion, told him that he had been anointed by God as the successor to the late Oba Sijuwade.
According to him, he was dumbfounded by the submission and followed Oba Tejuoso to the toilet at the ceremony, for him to reaffirm the prediction.
Oba Ogunwusi said that he did so, because he thought initially he didn`t hear the Osile clearly or that probably he heard him wrongly.
The Ooni explained that his visit to Osile was like homecoming due to his closeness to the family because the first son of the traditional ruler, Senator Lanre Tejuoso, who is representing Ogun Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly, was his friend.
“My visit to you Kabiyesi Osile Oke-Ona is like a homecoming,“ he declared, adding: “I am very close to you before
I became a traditional ruler.“
He added: “Kabiyesi, you may not remember, you have once predicted my ascension to the throne of Ooni of Ife.”
“Kabiyesi, this happened sometimes ago when you came for the wedding of one of the children of the immediate past late Ooni at Ife. You predicted that I am a king who is assigned to become Ooni,“ he said.
A highly elated Oba Ogunwusi further said: “I couldn’t believe it until when I was selected as the new Ooni. Let me say this openly that your prediction made me to fear and continued to respect and honour God.”
He urged Osile to pray for his successful reign in Ile-Ife, while submitting that Osile remains his father in spite of his (Oba Ogunwusi) position as a first class traditional ruler in the country, particularly in the South-West
His words: “You are my father and you remain my father. I will ask and continue to ask for your prayers. I want to learn from your wisdom and knowledge and I pray you live long,” Ogunwusi stated.
Among those in the palace of Oba Tejuoso to receive Ooni were four traditional rulers, Osile`s three wives, his chiefs, including the Iyalode of Yorubaland, Chief (Mrs.) Alaba Oluwaseun Lawson.
