July 10, (THEWILL) – Socialite and businesswoman, Erelu Abiola Dosunmu, has been named as the Yeye Oba Odua (Queen Mother of the House of Oduduwa) by His Imperial Majesty, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II. Erelu Dosunmu, who is well known in the social circles, is now the queen mother for all Yoruba traditional rulers who claim Ile-Ife and the House of Oodua as their source.
Dosunmu is stepping into the shoes of late Chief Mrs Hannah Dideolu Awolowo, the late Yeye Oba of Ife and wife of the first Premier of the defunct Western Region, late Chief Obafemi Awolowo. She was chosen because she has proved herself to be an outstanding woman of integrity and far-reaching influence. When she was just 26 years-old, she was crowned as the Erelu Kuti of Lagos by late Oba Adeyinka Oyekan, the traditional ruler of Lagos State who was her uncle.
The ageless woman is planning a grand reception on Friday, July 29, 2022 to celebrate her title. Dosunmu also holds other traditional titles and honorary titles, she holds a national honor of the Royal Kingdom in Belgium. She is also an Erelu in Egbaland.
