Warmest congratulations to the entire House of Oduduwa and to Olori Mariam Ajibola on the joyous arrival of twin princes to the royal throne of Oduduwa today. We give thanks to Almighty God as both mother and children are in good health.”

Recall that the Ooni became one of the most discussed traditional rulers in Nigeria after marrying six wives within the space of about three months in 2022.

The queens included Mariam Anako, Elizabeth Akinmuda, Tobiloba Phillips, Ashley Adegoke, Ronke Ademiluyi, and Temitope Adesegun.

However, while celebrating his 48th birthday and seventh coronation anniversary, the monarch explained that some of the decisions were connected to the traditional heritage and responsibilities attached to the throne of Ile Ife.
