They say the sun will rise and set, seasons will change their turns, and the youth will take over the old. The hourglass has been flipped, the king has gone to meet his ancestors and for Prince AdeyeyeEnitanOgunwusi it is only the beginning. Take notice, for his time has come.
Since the demise of the highly dignified Oba OkunadeSijuwade, Olubuse II, who in his capacity as the Oonirisa of the source brought a lot of fanfare and prestige to the already well revered stool that at one time or the other had been occupied by such illustrious personalities as Oduduwa&Oranmiyan, the race for the next Ooni has been on and the four ruling families; Osinkola, Ogboru, Giesi and Lafogido are now contenders.
A declaration document was signed by then Chairman of Chieftaincy Committee of Oranmiyan Local Government; P. O. Olaniyi. The document, which was forwarded for approval on September 14, 1979 and was signed on January 28, 1980 approving the rotation of the stool among the 4 ruling houses, in that order. The document had been prepared under the reign of the late Oba AdesojiAderemi who was from the Oshikola ruling family. The late Oba OkunadeSijuwade, the Olubuse II, being a product of the Ogboru ruling house, the next in line to ascend the throne must therefore come from the Giesi family. The Prince of the source, a fearless and self-made business man, Prince AdeyeyeEnitanOgunwusi, being the 4th direct descendant of the Giesi family, is in all context, the man for the throne.
