After 6 weddings back-to-back, spread over 7 weeks, the Ooni of Ife’s symbol of authority, his staff of office was seen at a public function over the weekend, escorting Abike Jagaban.
Abike is alleged to be intimately close to the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ojaja II.
The event is also said to be her grandmother’s burial when a reception was held at an event centre with the Ooni of Ife’s staff following her everywhere she went. Abike is the Yeye Bewaji of Itoriland.
The staff of office of the Ooni of Ife has been sighted at his weddings with 5 of his queens but he did not attend personally.
A blogger by profession, Abike Jagaban did not seem bothered about the prying eyes. She simply went about the day with the solid support and endorsement of the revered monarch, symbolized by the staff.
“The staff of the office of the king represents him and could be at anyone’s party as long as it’s the king’s emissary carrying it.
“It’s a mark of honour and Abike is no stranger to the palace. If the king or anyone from Ile Ife couldn’t attend the party physically, the staff of the office would honour the invite.
“Nobody should place any unusual meaning to the office staff at Abike Jagaban’s party,” palace sources revealed to Kemi Ashefon.
