The queen, via a communique sent to DailySun, described the monarch as one who has genuine love for the masses and unending passion for the development of Africa’s culture.

In her words: “Your birth, my love, is a radiant testament to God’s unending love for humanity. You were divinely sent, not by chance, but by necessity, for through your existence, countless lives have found meaning, purpose, and direction.”

“Because you were born, homes have been made happy, destinies restored, and souls uplifted. You are the vessel through which God reminds the world that true leadership is rooted in compassion, service, and divine wisdom.”

“As your wife, I am more than blessed. I am most fulfilled. For I would never have known such divine completeness if a man of your kind did not exist. Your love is healing, your guidance profound, and your kindness mirrors the very heart of God, and most fulfilling is my service to you through humanity. It is priceless.”

“I have witnessed how many lives are connected to you and each one touched, transformed, and fulfilled through your grace. Yet, dearest to my heart is your unwavering devotion to underserved communities and the less privileged. Your compassion for them is not just noble; it is sacred, a reflection of your divine calling as a King destined to serve humanity selflessly.”

“Today, as the world celebrates you, I join the Heavens and all who have been touched by your light in magnifying the essence of your miraculous birth. Because you were born, the world became brighter. Because you live, humanity finds hope and direction.”

“On behalf of the Hopes Alive Initiative for Africa Foundation, we joyfully celebrate our Chief Convener, His Imperial Majesty Ooni Adeyeye Babatunde Enitan-Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, the great Ooni of Ife. A King whose existence continues to redefine leadership, inspire service, and manifest God’s love upon the earth. Happy Birthday, my King. The priceless gift of God to this generation,” she stated.
