Adeyeye Ogunwusi, the Ooni of Ife, on Friday, attended the convocation ceremony of his former wife Naomi Silekunola at Elizade University in Akure, Ondo state.
In a video shared on Instagram by gospel singer Dare
Justified, the monarch was captured exchanging pleasantries at the event.
The Ooni was also seen carrying his son while conversing
with Naomi, and was spotted handing two bundles of N1000 notes to the child. He
also took photographs with some guests and friends at the ceremony.
Describing the occasion as memorable, the singer said it was a special day honouring Silekunola.
He expressed delight that the Ooni attended the ceremony to
celebrate the milestone alongside family and friends.
The singer congratulated Silekunola, praying that the
achievement would open doors to greater accomplishments and new opportunities.
“A special day celebrating the remarkable Her Majesty,
Prophetess Naomi Silekunola, @queen_silekunolanaomi_ogunwusi at her convocation
ceremony at Elizade University, Akure! What an incredible and memorable time!”
the post reads.
“An even greater honour to have His Imperial Majesty, Ooni
Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, the Ooni of Ife, present to celebrate this
beautiful milestone alongside family and friends.
“Congratulations, Your Majesty! This is another beautiful
milestone, and I pray it opens doors to even greater accomplishments, new
opportunities and greater heights.”
Ahead of the ceremony, Naomi revealed that she retook the
Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examination more than a decade
after leaving secondary school in order to gain admission to the university in
Ilara-Mokin. She studied International Relations.
The university combined its 10th and 11th convocations for
the event, which covered 964 graduands, 116 of them graduating with first class
honours.
Naomi became Ooni’s wife in late 2018. The pair welcomed
Tadenikawo, their first child, in November 2020.
Naomi announced her separation from the monarch in December 2011.
