The Ooni-elect, Prince Adeyeye Ogunwusi, is expected to leave Ilofi, where he has been undergoing installation rites in the past 21 days later on Sunday, November 22.
Ogunwusi, who was appointed as the 51st Ooni of Ife, will on Monday, November 23 go to the Ile Oodua, the palace where he is expected to be crowned traditionally the same day.
One of his close aides, Mr. Biyi Odunlade, said this while briefing journalists on Sunday.
The new monarch, who will be crowned by traditional chiefs at a ceremony for only the initiated, will later appear in public briefly. His inauguration and elaborate ceremony will hold on Monday, December 7.
Governor Rauf Aregbesola approved the appointment of Ogunwusi as the Ooni of Ife in a letter by the Secretary to the Osun State Government, Moshood Adeoti. (Punch)
