Ooni was still in love with his wife before the divorce notice on social media – Palace

The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, was participating in a three-day music programme tagged, ‘Memorable Moments With Music’ at the Muson Centre, Lagos State while he was served a divorce notice on social media.

Ooni’s media aide, Moses Olafare, told newsmen Friday, his boss was still in love with the Prophetess before the divorce notice on social media.

“On Wednesday, Kabiyesi (Ooni) was still packaging special gifts for her. If you want to separate with someone, you cannot be packaging gifts for her.

“I was aware that Kabiyesi was putting a special Christmas gift together for her. If he is not in love with her, he cannot be doing that. In fact, the Christmas gift has been delivered to her already.”

Prophetess Naomi Silekunola, in a statement posted on her verified Instagram handle @queen_silekunolanaomi_ogunwusi on Thursday morning, announced an end to her three-year-old marriage with Ooni.

She said, “I bless the Lord almighty for His faithfulness in the last three years of my marriage. In life’s journey, it isn’t how far.

“Still, how well, indeed though satan should buffet if trials should come, I have this blessed assurance controlling all situations and saying to me it is well with my soul.

“Certainly, it is well. I made my journey into the ancient throne of Ife with faith in my heart and love for the keeper of it.

“Few impressions I would love to correct. If anyone knows otherwise, they are free to come up with facts.

“Let it be known that this decision to move on did not come because his majesty is married to another queen.

“As many would love to assume, throughout our life as a couple, I was the only married wife to him. There were side attractions, but it was never an issue.
