The wife of the Ooni of Ile-Ife Queen Silekunolanaomi Ogunwusi on Thursday declared that she no longer wishes to be addressed as wife to the Ooni of Ife but as the Queen of the people and mother of my adorable Prince.
The Queen made this known via her official Instagram handle, noting that her marriage to the Ooni has been faced with several trials in which she has a “blessed assurance controlling all situations”.She noted that despite side attractions that seemed to compete with her as his wife, she was the only married wife to him and her decision to “move on” did not come because his majesty is married to another queen.
She wrote; “Few impressions I would love to correct. If anyone knows otherwise, they are free to come up with facts. Let it be known that this decision to move on did not come because his majesty is married to another queen. As many would love to assume, throughout our lives as a couple, I was the only married wife to him. There were side attractions, but it was never an issue”.
She further wrote, “I did my best to endure and make it work; many times, I smiled through the struggle, but I have finally realised I had just one assignment, my son, and when God is done, He is done. He chose Saul to be king, and when He was done, He told the prophet Samuel I have moved on. Religion was never an issue between us; please refer to my interview on News Central TV. Instead, His Majesty has a picture he would love the world to see and perceive him as and another one which is his true self.
Today I announce the beginning of a new dawn and the close of a chapter. Today, I am a mother to God’s unique gift. I am no longer a slave to my thoughts of perfection. I, at this moment, announce that I shall no longer be referred to as wife to the Ooni of Ife or as Queen of Ile-Ife but as the Queen of the people and mother of my adorable Prince.”
