The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has officially welcomed his wife, Olori Ashley Ogunwusi, and their newborn son, Prince Ademakinwa to the palace in Ile-Ife, Osun State.
A grand homecoming ceremony was held on Friday, with traditional rulers, dignitaries, and well-wishers in attendance to celebrate the occasion.
Prince Ademakinwa was born on September 3, 2024, at Princess Royal Hospital in London, United Kingdom.
The monarch announced the birth on Instagram, stating: “…Hearty congratulations to the entire House of Oduduwa and Olori Folashade, who today birthed a Prince from the mother side of Ooni Adagba Royal Compound of Lafogido Ruling House and father side of Ooni Agbedegbede Royal Compound of Giesi Ruling house combined to the Royal throne of Oduduwa.”
Olori Ashley also shared her emotional journey to motherhood, revealing that she suffered a miscarriage of twins at 14 weeks in 2023.
In an Instagram post, she wrote: “Even though the enemies tried in our relationship for about a decade, but Olodumare has remained faithful in our lives. Last year was a little dark as our set of twins gained their wings at 14 weeks, but Olodumare remained faithful, he said what you need is a son to carry your forebears lineage, a double CROWN PRINCE, now he has blessed us with our gorgeous son, who is not just only a prince of the source, but our CROWN PRINCE from both sides of his parents.”
Oba Ogunwusi married Olori Ashley as his fourth wife in October 2022.
