The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, on Friday attended the convocation ceremony of his former wife, Prophetess Naomi Silekunola, at Elizade University, Ilara-Mokin, Ondo State.

The monarch joined Silekunola’s family and friends to celebrate her academic achievement at the ceremony held in Akure, according to gospel musician Dare Justified, who announced his attendance in a post on Instagram.

Justified described the convocation as another significant milestone for the former queen and wished her greater opportunities and accomplishments.

Ahead of the ceremony, Silekunola disclosed that she had taken the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board examination again after more than a decade to gain admission to the university.

She also revealed that she combined motherhood with full-time studies over four years while pursuing a degree in International Relations.

The university said its 10th and 11th convocation ceremonies were combined, with 964 graduands expected to receive their degrees, including 116 First Class graduates.

The Ooni and Silekunola got married in October 2018 but she announced their separation on December 23, 2021. Their union produced a son, Tadenikawo.
