The Ooni-elect, Adeyeye Ogunwusi said he has forgiven all those who tried to defame his name during the period that led to the emergence of the new Ooni of Ife. The selection period preceding the emergence of the royal father was rife with controversies, name-calling and rancor.

 

Ogunwusi made his decision known through one of his close allies who described the new Ooni as a peaceful man. The Ooni's close ally, Mr. Leke Ijiyode also said the new Ooni is out to unite the royal families who have witnessed intensive fights in a bid to see that their person emerge as the Ooni. 

 

Ijiyode who conveyed the Ooni's stance, said that he was not coming for vendetta but to begin to work on how to fast-track the development of the town.

 

Ijiyode said, “We thank God that His will was eventually done. The Ooni-elect is not coming to fight those who worked to tarnish his reputation. He has been vindicated. The Ooni-elect is aware of the enormity of the work awaiting him and he will not fail. He doesn’t have that time to be fighting against those who worked against him. He is concerned about bringing development and peace to Ife; he is not coming to fight anyone. He has forgiven all.”
