Hearty congratulations to the entire House of Oduduwa and Olori Silekunola who today birthed a Prince to the Royal throne of Oduduwa. Mother and child are doing well to the glory of God Almighty".
The monarch married Olori Silekunola in 2018, following the breakdown of his earlier marriage to former Olori Wuraola Zainab.
The date and place of birth of the new Prince are yet to be confirmed.
Olori Silekunola has been away from the public eye since she conceived and was with the Ooni’s child. The 45-year-old Oba Ogunwusi had revealed in July that he would name his unborn Prince after the 49th Ooni of Ife Adesoji Tadenikawo Aderemi.
His only other biological child is Princess Adeola Ogunwusi, who is in her 20s. The king had her when he was 19. Olori Silekunola is the king’s third wife. His first two marriages did not produce any child.
