Senator Otunba Gbenga Daniel, representing Ogun East district and former governor of Ogun State, has joined millions of well-wishers in celebrating the 50th birthday of His Imperial Majesty, Arole Oduduwa, Olofin Adimula, Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi CFR, Ojaja II, the Ooni of Ife. Otunba Gbennga Daniel, in a statement released on his official X handle, described the Ooni as a revered monarch whose influence spans not only across Yorubaland but throughout Nigeria.
“My family and I join millions of Yoruba sons and daughters across the globe in celebrating with the custodian of our heritage, His Imperial Majesty, Arole Oduduwa, Olofin Adimula Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi CFR Ojaja II, Ooni of Ife, on the occasion of his Golden Jubilee. K’adepe lori, Ki bata pe lese, irukere a di Abere,” Senator Daniel tweeted.
The Ooni of Ife, who ascended the throne in 2015, has been a symbol of unity and culture in Yoruba land. His leadership has been marked by efforts to preserve the rich history and traditions of the Yoruba people, while also promoting progress and inclusivity in Nigeria. His Golden Jubilee celebration is a significant milestone and symbol of dedication to his role as the spiritual leader of the Yoruba people.
The Ooni of Ife recently donated a road construction, a grand pavilion, and a monument on the OAU campus and named the projects in First Lady Mrs. Oluremi Tinubu’s honour.
