Although the first-class Yoruba monarch married Akinmuda in 2022, the palace spokesperson, Moses Olafare, said on Tuesday that she had been overseas but will be formally welcomed to the palace on Saturday.

Olafare stated over the phone: “There is nothing like latest wife; Dr Opeoluwa Elizabeth Akinmuda has been (Ooni’s) his wife since last year. The wedding took place last year right after Olori Mariam’s,”

“She was not based in Nigeria; she was based abroad. What is happening this weekend is thanksgiving ceremony in line with cultural tradition of the palace so that she can formally get a seat at the palace.

“It’s just a formal traditional rite that will usher her into the palace. It’s a thanksgiving ceremony at the palace.”
