Oluwo of Iwo Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi says he has crowned his new wife Queen Firdaus Akanbi as Arole Olodumare 1 in Yorubaland.
The stylish monarch said on Wednesday that he learnt the act of honouring one’s wife from Yoruba ancestor Oduduwa.
“Every Queen Deserves A Crown ! My Great Progenitor ODUDUWA taught me to love my Queen by Crowning her and thats why Olokun the wife of ODUDUWA was Crowned!” He wrote, with beautiful pictures of himself and wife uploaded to Instagram.
“King Telu loves Queen Firdauz and he crowned her !!! Arole Olodumare #1 in Yorubaland Alase Lori Orisa #1 in Yorubaland.”
Queen Firdaus is the niece of the Emir of Kano Aminu Ado Bayero. The wedding took place in March at the residence of the Madakin of Kano, in the ancient city of Kano.
Oba Akanbi, who became the Oluwo of Iwo in November 2015 at 48, married his first wife Chanel Chin, a Jamaican, shortly after he was enthroned.
According to the monarch, the union which produced a son named Oduduwa, ended due to irreconcilable differences.
