Ghanaian President Dr. John Mahama has been honored with a chieftaincy title by the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi.
On Monday in Ile-Ife, Osun State, Mahama was conferred the title of Aare Atayeto Oodua of the Source, a designation meaning “A President who reorganises the global space for humanity.” The ceremony was part of celebrations marking the Ooni’s 10th coronation anniversary.
Upon arrival, President Mahama was received at Samuel Ladoke Akintola Airport in Ibadan, Oyo State, before proceeding to Ile-Ife, where a large crowd welcomed him into the historic city.
The event, held at the Palace Square, was attended by notable figures, including Dangote Group President Aliko Dangote and Ovation Magazine Publisher Dele Momodu.
This honor follows the Ooni’s recent conferral of the Yeye Asiwaju title on Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, further highlighting the monarch’s tradition of recognizing influential leaders.
