“Ooni Has Never Conceived It, Talk Less of Installing Anybody As The Okanlomo of Yorubaland” – Oree of Moba
The Oloore Oodua, His Royal Majesty, Oba Adekunle Adeagbo, the Oore of Otun-Ekiti and paramount ruler of Mobaland House has denied the news trending that the Ooni of Ife, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Enitan Ogunwusi is planning to Install Chief Dotun Sanusi as Okanlomo of Yorubaland.
The monarch in a release on Tuesday said Ooni has never conceived it, talk less of installing anybody as the Okanlomo of Yorubaland.
He challenge anyone with verifiable evidence that Ooni has traditionally or culturally installed such a title on anyone to present it to the public.
“It is important to note that as the Natural Father of the Yoruba race and spiritual head of Odùduwà race worldwide, the Ooni wields unequivocal authority to bestow titles of territorial relevance if and when necessary. However, His Majesty’s vision and preoccupation are far greater than minor chieftaincy titles. His focus rests on the larger task of unifying our people across Nigeria and Africa who trace their origin to Ilé-Ifẹ̀ for peace, progress, and development that far transcend such narrow contestations.
“Since ascending the throne of Odùduwà, Ooni has carried out only three official territorial chieftaincy installations namely; The Odole Oodua, Iyalaje OODUA and Yeye Oodua all deeply rooted in spiritual and ancestral imperatives, which Baba Ooni had bestowed on Sir Dr Adebutu Kensington, Princess Dr Toyin KOLADE and Erelu Abiola Dosumu respectively.
“Our father Ooni, revered not merely as a king but as a deity across the Oduduwa race of which Yoruba is a notable section, does not distribute titles frivolously. Apart from the proposed Ojaja Smart City, Ibadan, the biggest in Africa which will provide not less than 20000 jobs, Ooni has already established Inagbe Grand Resort in Lagos, Ife Grand Resort and Industrial Hub in Ile-Ife, Ojaja University in Ilorin, Kwara state, Ojajamoore and Ojaja Park and Hotels in Akure, OjajaMoore in Ede, Ile-Ife and Osogbo in Osun creating over 5000 direct jobs for Yoruba youths.
“He is also constructing a massive Ojaja Park in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti state. That is leadership.
Oloore added that kings in Yorubaland must put a clear end to the fruitless struggle for emperorship ; an idea long eroded by constitutional democracy.
He said descendants of Oduduwa home and in diaspora know their natural father and they know where they all migrated from; hence, there is no contestation over Ooni’s place as the Arole Odùduwà.
