The Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi, and his wife, Olori Firdaus Abdullahi have welcomed their first child.
The monarch announced the arrival of his bundle of joy through Instagram on Wednesday evening.
“Olodumare Oseun o !! I thank God Almighty for a blessed beautiful Child through my beautiful Queen…. hip hip hip hurray 😃😍 I’m blessed,” he wrote.
The press secretary to the monarch, Alli Ibrahim, also issued a statement.
“Oluwo expressed appreciation to Olodumare (God) for blessing my home with the handsome, promising child,” the statement read.
“Carrying a baby for months is tasking. I congratulate my queen on the arrival of a new child. She deserves accolades. I have strong trust in whatever comes out of her womb. The child shall be greater and be prosperous than me. Once again, congratulations to my beautiful, elegant, respectful and loving queen Firdaus.”
The baby’s arrival comes exactly a year after the Osun traditional ruler tied the knot with Firdausi, who is from Kano state.
The wedding ceremony was held at the residence of the Madakin Kano, Yola Quarters on March 20, 2022.
Firdaus is the daughter of Abdullahi Sarki Sani Yola, the late Madakin Kano, and the granddaughter of the late Emir Ado Bayero.
