Ooni of Ife’s fourth wife, Olori Folashade Ashley Ogunwusi, has explained why she tagged her newborn son the ‘Crown Prince’.
OsunDailyNG reports that Folashade and the Ooni, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, recently welcomed their first child.
While announcing the birth of her baby on social media, the monarch’s wife referred to him as ‘Crown Prince.’
However, some followers and social media users felt the statement was inappropriate because Ooni already had two sons before hers, Tadenikawo, born by his first estranged wife, Olori Naomi and Oreade, the twin boy born by Olori Tobi Philips.
Clarifying the controversial statement, Folashade, in a post via her Instagram page on Tuesday, wrote, “Oba tón gbọ ẹkún aládúrà, ẹsẹ Olódùmarè. Thank you olodumare for an amazing pregnancy journey which was very sacred for my husband and I, which was successfully kept away from society space to the glory of Olodumare.
“To my ever loving supportive husband who has stood by me throughout this journey, in every step of the way, from start to finish with daily prayers @ooniadimulaife you are my world, my CROWN JEWEL, Erujeje Adimula Oko Mi, Ikoyi Esho Mi.
