The government of the State of Osun has revealed the new Ooni of Ife.
The choice of the kingmakers is: Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, who is a 40-year-old real estate entrepreneur and a prince of the Giesi Ruling House in Ife. He becomes the 51st Ooni of Ile-Ife.
State statement released by the state government reads: 
“The Governor of the State of Osun, Ogbeni Rauf Adesoji Aregbesola has approved the appointment of a new Ooni of Ife.
“He is Prince Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi of Girsi Ruling House of Ile-Ife, State of Osun.
“This choice follows the completion of the due process by the kingmakers and the communication of their decision to Government.”
The announcement of a new traditional ruler for the ancient stool came barely three months (89 days) after the death of Oba Okunade Sijuwade at a London clinic.
Mr. Sijuwade died after a brief illness on July 28, although Ile-Ife chiefs only confirmed his death on August 10.
