“My son is a special being” – New Ooni’s Father

Pa Ogunwusi says it wasn’t a surprise to him when his son’s name was announced as the new king because traces of greatness have always followed him.

The new Ooni of Ife’s father, Oluropo Ogunwusi has said his son is a special being and he has always known he will be a great man.

“He is a great man, a prophet told us shortly before he was born that he would be great and he grew up with the sign of greatness, anything he touches becomes a success,” he explained.

Oluropo Ogunwusi called on the other 20 contestants who had contested with his son for the seat to put away any bitter rivalry and join hands with the new monarch to develop Ife land.
