Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi and his wife Wuraola Otiti Zynab Obanor
His Imperial Majesty, Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi is set to wed his
new bride, Wuraola Otiti Zynab Obanor, an architect based in Dubai, UAE
from Benin, Edo state.
All roads will literally lead to Benin City today for the event.
The high profile event is being attended by first class kings,
political juggernauts, business titans and high-octane socialites from
near and far.
Photos below show the arrival of His Imperial Majesty’s Royal entourage in Benin for the wedding ceremony.
The traditional wedding is expected to kick off at noon at the Edo
Hotel, Okada Drive, GRA Benin City, Edo State. A thanksgiving ceremony
of the traditional union will hold tomorrow at the Royal Court of Ife,
Aafin, Enuwa Square in Ile-Ife, Osun State.
The choice of Benin for the first part of the wedding is because the new Olori has Benin roots and is also from Ile-Ife.
The Ooni was said to have been smitten by the simple nature of
ravishingly pretty Wuraola, who is a cousin to Jennifer Obayuwana, Polo
boss daughter.
Jennifer was one of those who first announced the marriage on her
Instagram page. The Ooni and Wuraola have been in courtship for a while.
The wedding is considered strategic and imperative as it’s strictly
against the tradition for a king to live in the palace without the his
Olori (queen).
It should be noted that Oba Enitan Ogunwusi is a young monarch in
his early 40s and stupendously rich. Tradition supports this marriage
and there is likelihood of the Ooni marrying more as he progresses in
his reign. Obas, generally, are not restricted to one wife.
