Marriage
She married Ooni in 2018 when she was 25 years old. It was gathered that the traditional wedding was done in Akure, the Ondo State capital before the new bride was brought to the palace.
During the ceremony, the Olori was dressed in white attire and was ushered into the palace by some traditional chiefs and was taken to Ogunwusi after the rites had been performed.
The marriage was signed about 14 months after Ogunwusi’s marriage with ex-queen Wuraola Zaynab Otiti-Obanor ended.
Motherhood
Queen Silekunola and the Ooni had a son together, Tadenikawo.
The Prince, who is her first and only child, was welcomed on November 18, 2020.

Ministry
