The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has been invited as a
special guest of the Canadian Government to grace the country’s 150th
Independence Anniversary celebrations in July this year. The special invitation
was conveyed to the Ife monarch in his palace by a Canadian Member of
Parliament (MP), Ramesh Sangha.
Delivering the invitation, the Canadian MP said that the
invitation was aimed at forging stronger ties between Canada and Nigeria.
Sangha, representing Brampton Central in the Canadian Parliament, said he would
collaborate with Federal Government in the areas of economy, youth empowerment,
health services, agriculture, science and technology while in Nigeria. He
described the Ife monarch as a “reference point in Nigeria in view of the
enviable niche he has carved for himself since mounting the throne of his
forebears. “We Canadians are very happy with Your Highness for the great work
you are doing.” “On behalf of Canadian Prime Minister, Rt. Hon. Justin Pierre
James Trudeau, we are inviting you to the 150th Independence Anniversary
Celebration of Canada coming up in July,” said the Canadian MP.
