The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has announced the birth of twin princes to the Royal House of Oduduwa.
The revered monarch disclosed the development in a post shared on his official Facebook page on Friday, expressing gratitude to God over the safe delivery of the children by his wife, Mariam Ajibola.
In his message, the Ooni described the birth as a blessing to the royal family and the ancient throne of Oduduwa, adding that both the mother and the newborns were in good health.
“To God be all the glory and adoration for His wondrous works and abundant blessings once again,” the monarch stated.
He further congratulated members of the royal household and celebrated the arrival of the twins as a moment of joy for Ile-Ife and the House of Oduduwa.
“Warmest congratulations to the entire House of Oduduwa and to Olori Mariam Ajibola on the joyous arrival of twin princes to the royal throne of Oduduwa today,” he added.
The announcement has since attracted congratulatory messages from traditional rulers, dignitaries and admirers across the country.
Oba Ogunwusi, who marked his 48th birthday and seventh coronation anniversary earlier, had previously spoken about his marriages and the traditional responsibilities attached to the throne of the Ooni of Ife.
Among the queens associated with the monarch are Mariam Anako, Elizabeth Akinmuda, Tobiloba Phillips, Ashley Adegoke, Ronke Ademiluyi and Temitope Adesegun.
