In a statement issued on Saturday in Ile-Ife by the Director of Media and Public Affairs at the Ooni’s Palace, Moses Olafare, the monarch said he was also subjected to mockery during the period.
He made the remarks while receiving guests who visited to celebrate the birth of twin princes recently welcomed by one of his wives, Queen Mariam.
The Ooni said he was deeply grateful to God for the new addition to the royal family, stating, “I thank God today. There is nothing God cannot do.”
He also reflected on his personal journey, noting that he never planned to have multiple wives while growing up, but said traditional expectations and circumstances surrounding the throne influenced his marital path.
Oba Ogunwusi described his experience since becoming the Ooni as one filled with unexpected challenges and responsibilities tied to royal life.
He recalled that shortly after his ascension, there was intense pressure on him to quickly fulfill certain traditional and family expectations.
The monarch also disclosed that efforts were made by respected traditional rulers and influential figures to encourage his former wife to relocate to Ile-Ife, but those efforts did not succeed.
Reflecting further on his early life, the Ooni revealed that he became a father at the age of 19, describing it as a difficult period that shaped his outlook on life.
He said the experience initially overwhelmed him, but credited his mother for helping him stay focused and resilient.
Oba Ogunwusi also appreciated First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu for her consistent support, describing her as a mother figure who stood by him during challenging times.
He concluded by thanking all visitors for their prayers and goodwill, noting that the mother of the newborn twins also expressed appreciation to those who supported her.
