Gani Adams Hails Ooni Of Ife, Says Monarch Inspires Yoruba Traditional Institution

LAGOS – Aareonakakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Abiodun Ige Adams has hailed the Ooni of Ife, His Imperial Majesty Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, on the occasion of his golden jubilee celebration.

Iba Adams in a statement he signed on Friday described Oba Ogunwusi as a big inspiration to Yoruba traditional institutions, saying the monarch has since his ascension to the royal stool been promoting Yoruba culture and tradition more than any Oba in recent times.

He said, “I wish Kabiesi well in his new age. Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi is a big inspiration to Yoruba traditional institutions. He’s a role model that many of the Yoruba Obas look up to.

“Kabiyesi has brought a lot of innovations and reforms to the traditional institution, and it’s a demonstration of his unequal passion for the development of the royal stool.

“As the Aareonakakanfo of Yorubaland, I  rejoice with the good people of Ife, the Osun State government as well as the entire Yoruba race as the Arole Oodua is celebrating this milestone.

“Kabiesi is the pride of our race and we’ll continue to support his vision for the development and progress of the Yoruba race.

“As we celebrate Kabiesi golden jubilee, I pray God to grant our revered monarch good health, sound mind and more grace for him to continue to be such a blessing to Yoruba race in general,” Adams added.
