The Nation Newspaper ‘My father prostrate for me when I was chosen as Oba’
In this interview with Oba Peter Oluwole Ipadeola Ilufemilolye Akinyooye III, the 35th Olufon of Ifon Osun and Aremo Obatala of the universe, we delve into the tapestry of his ascension to the throne and the challenges he faced. His journey from a reluctant contender to a revered monarch is intertwined with mystical encounters, spiritual revelations and encounters with fraudsters.
During the recent Salah celebration, our community welcomed visitors from across Osun State and beyond, attracted by the presence of over twenty trucks of rams brought by northerners for sale, all of which were sold out. Regarding my ascension to the throne, I believe that we are all guided by spiritual forces in our journeys. At times, I felt a stirring within me, hinting at a future intertwined with royal destiny. However, I initially resisted these inklings, hesitant to embrace the weighty responsibilities of kingship.
I prayed about it and started having dreams that I am on a white throne. I told the wife of my State Pastor about it, Mummy Akinrinade, she said I should give her three days to pray about it. The following morning, she called me and said ‘Kabiyesi’. That was when I entered the contest. Yes, my father was the first person to prostrate for me.
Around 11PM, he took me to Osun Osogbo groove with my friends. When we got there they said we should go and pray at the river bank. Thank God I know the place, I am conversant with the place. They said I should go and pray. I am saying this so that other people won’t fall prey to them that is why I am exposing them now. I prayed by the river, while I finished and about to leave the riverside, I started to hear very strange and loud noises.
