Ooni began the traditional
rites at Ilofi Iremo, a place of preparation for new Ooni, on October 30 2015
and was expected to have left on November 19, after spending twenty-one days.
However, a few more days
were added to ensure that all the rites were completed before the coronation
would take place.
It was also learned that
the coronation of Prince Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi will not be done in the open.
A palace source told newsmen that the new Ooni will be installed in Ile Oodua,
stressing that the new monarch will be entering the palace for the first time
as an Oba today.
He added: “In line with the
demand of Ile Ife customs and traditions, his coronation will hold behind
closed doors. Only the Isoros and Ife chiefs will be involved but I can confirm
that it will be done inside the palace.”
In a chat with newsmen,
former Special Adviser on Youth and Sports to Osun State Governor, Mr. Biyi
Odunlade, confirmed that the new Ooni will be crowned today inside Ile Oodua
but added that the event will not be open to the public.
