The Ooni of Ife Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi has welcomed a baby boy with his wife Olori Moronke Silekunola.
In an Instagram post, the revered monarch said the baby was born on Wednesday, adding that mother and child are fine.
“To God be the glory great things he has done. 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,” he wrote.
The 45-year-old monarch’s wife has been out of the public eye since she took in.
Oba Ogunwusi had disclosed in July that he would name his unborn prince after the 49th Ooni of Ife Oba 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.
