ILE-IFE — NEWLY-crowned Ooni of Ife Oba
Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi has promised that a
new Yoruba nation where youth empowerment
is the focus will emerge during his tenure.
Ogunwusi’s coronation is coming five months
after the demise of Oba Okunade Sijuwade,
who passed on at 85. The new Ooni is the 51st
Ooni to ascend the throne, and his coronation
came exactly 35 years and one day after the
immediate-past Ooni, Oba Sijuade was
presented the staff of office.
Remarkably, the ancient city of Ile Ife stood still
yesterday, as he was presented with the staff
of office and instrument of appointment. Roads
leading to the palace was on lock down by
security operatives, leaving a red carpet path
for the monarch and invited dignitaries.
Guests and invitees from all walks of life
thronged the palace to catch a glimpse of the
coronation ceremony of the Ooni of Ife.
In fact, it took the intervention of security
presence of the Army, Police, Civil Defence and
other paramilitary organizations to control the
crowd at the venue.
The ceremony, held at Afewonro Park, Enuwa,
had in attendance dignitaries. It was full of
glamour as groups attired in colourful dresses
adorned the perimeters of the venue.
Traditional rulers from different climes,
including the Sultan of Sokoto, Saad Abubakar
II, and Olu of Warri were not left out as drums
and trumpets announced their arrival.
Large turnout
Strangely, due to the large turn out, many
guests remained standing due to the
unavailability of seats. Asides this, prayers were
offered in Christian, Muslim and Ifa traditional
religions ways to ensure equality of religions at
the event. Co-chairman of the National
Traditional Council,
His Eminence, Saad Abubakar, the Sultan of
Sokoto, noted that the coming of Oba
Ogunwusi to the throne was timely, saying the
demand for recognition by youth should not be
taken lightly.
The Sultan said all traditional rulers in the
country would give the Ooni the needed
support to lead the change to get the youth
positively engaged being one of them.
Be virtuous, Osinbajo tasks Ooni: In his goodwill
message, Vice President Osinbajo, who
represented President Muhammadu Buhari at
the event, said the throne of Ooni, being a
deep and revered institution among the
Yoruba people carries the responsibility of the
race.
He, however, urged the Ooni of Ife to be
virtuous and ensure his ascension is not just to
make wealth and pleasure.
The Vice President said the land of Ife was
blessed with the choice of a young and
virtuous son of Ife.
Osinbajo said “As we celebrate with pomp
today (yesterday), we are reminded of the
great responsibility that is thrusted on you as
the representative of the virtuous.”
While urging the newly-crowned monarch to
take the responsibility of leading the people on
the path of virtue very seriously, the VP prayed
that God would give him (monarch) the
wisdom and courage to lead the people.
Aregbesola tasks Ooni on nation building: On
his part, the Osun State Governor Rauf
Aregbesola said the throne of Ooni comes will
lots of privileges, calling on the monarch to
handle the responsibilities attached to the
throne with fear of God and large heartedness.
He urged him to draw on the wisdom of the
people by listening to them and advised him
against pursuing naked personal interest at
the expense of the larger interests of his
subjects.
According to the governor, the Ooni must
mobilize his subjects to support government in
its bid to implement its programmes by
enlightening them on the need to pay taxes.
“New Ooni must work towards fostering unity
among his subjects across, not a unity that will
be achieved through coercion. Your attitude
will be the cardinal determinant of your
success. Try to carry along all in decision
making,” Aregbesola said.
I’m for youth empowerment — Ooni Ogunwusi
In his speech, Oba Ogunwusi, promised to
build a new Yoruba nation where all traditional
rulers will unite and promote unity among the
ethnic group.
Speaking shortly after receiving his staff of
office, the Ooni dedicated his staff to Nigerian
youth and promised to liaise with people in
leadership positions to fashion out ways that
the teeming youthful population can be
engaged.
The monarch stated that shortly after he was
named Ooni-elect, he immediately commenced
interfacing with monarchs across the country,
declaring that during his reign, there won’t be
competition, stressing the need for a more
united Yoruba nation.
“Shortly after I was named Ooni-elect, I sprang
into action. I called my friend, Oba Saheed
Elegushi, I spoke to the Sultan of Sokoto. I also
called Kabiyesi, the Alaafin. I spoke to the
Awujale and the Alake. I am prepared for the
throne and this is not accidental.
“I am close to many monarchs and uniting
them should not be a problem. It will be easy.
No competition with anyone. And I want to
announce to the entire world that a new
Yoruba nation is coming,” the monarch said.
On his programme for the youth, Ooni
Ogunwusi said he had experimented with a
model for youth empowerment in the last
three weeks, with the employment of about
3,000 youths, which has in return reduced
crime rate in the town.

ABUJA—The State Security Service, SSS,
Tuesday, told a Federal high court sitting in
Abuja that Chief Raymond Dokpesi, the
Director-General of the Ibrahim Badamosi
Babangida Presidential Campaign Organisation
was serially quizzed by its men because of
unassailable evidence linking him to the
October 1, 2010 bomb blasts in Abuja which
claimed more than 10 innocent lives.
The SSS which described as laughable the
N100 million suit instituted by Dokpesi against
it for questioning him over his alleged role in
the callous act urged the high court to dismiss
the suit in limine.
In a statement filed by the SSS in court, the
SSS said it was hinging its request for the
dismissal of the case on the ground that
Dokpesi’s suit was an invitation on the court to
gag it from performing its statutory functions
of probing crimes and security issues.
This position of the SSS as contained in the
preliminary objection filed to Dokpesi’s suit was
prepared by Dr Alex Aigbe Izinyon, SAN.
According to Dr. Izinyon in the objection, he
said that Dokpesi’s suit could not be described
as anything less meaningless in view of the fact
that the SSS was statutorily empowered to
invite any person for questioning on matters
bordering on national security, including the
applicant (Dokpesi).
He said if the court should countenance his
suit, the trial judge would be creating an
impression that Dokpesi is above the law.
Hear him: “the issue in this case which led to
the invitation of the Applicant (Dokpesi) by the
1st Respondent (SSS) relates to bomb blasts
where several innocent Nigerians lost their
lives. It has to do with State Security which
the 1st Respondent is legally empowered to
investigate.
