The First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Remi Tinubu, was formally installed as the Yeye Asiwaju Gbogbo Ile Oodu’a in a grand ceremony on Sunday.

Her arrival in Ile-Ife was met with great fanfare, accompanied by a heavy security presence.

 

Senator Tinubu arrived at the palace of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, where she was warmly received by the monarch and his chiefs. The installation took place at the Palace Square, coinciding with the 10th coronation anniversary of Oba Ogunwusi, who ascended the throne a decade ago.
