The Ikate Elegushi palace in Lagos may soon be welcoming a brand new queen, as the handsome Elegushi of Ikateland, HRM Oba Saheed Elegushi may be adding a third Olori soon.
It will recall that three years ago, Olori Hadiza Elegushi became the second queen of Elegushi of Ikateland, HRM Oba Saheed Elegushi after years of his marriage to his first wife, Queen Sekinat Elegushi. CityScoop sources have hinted that an Edo-born princess is the next Olori in line.
Checks reveal Tonya Lawani, a rich princess who hails from Edo and she runs the SEAL Group - one of the fastest growing conglomerates in Nigeria with companies that are into advertising, hospitality, retail, print media, marketing communications|, construction & procurement|, and hygiene & medical equipment OEM/supplies.
She is well-connected and close to a couple of Lagos Big Babes. She is one of the landlords at Banana Island in Lagos. Tonya already has a son from her previous marriage. Our sources however hinted that she is currently on the proverbial 9-month course, and the king is expecting a royal baby soon.
CityScoop however, cannot confirm if the monarch has performed any marital rites on the incoming Olori. Don't forget that he also didn't make any noise when he picked his second Olori.
The relationship between Tonya and the king didn't just start. We understood it's been a couple of years now. Interestingly, the first wife, Olori Sekinat shares a good relationship with her as well, just like the monarch's mum, Olori Sinat Elegushi. She celebrated them on their birthdays especially.
Tonya was fully on the ground during Oba Elegushi's 45th birthday celebration in November 2021. She was also very much in attendance at the 80th birthday celebration of the king's mum in May.
Recall that in March, Oba Saheed Elegushi lost his only son and heir apparent to the throne (from his second wife, Queen Hadiza). The young prince was just one year and seven months old before his unfortunate death. They have since lived on above the setback and the love between the Elegushi and Hadiza is still thick. Just three months ago, the monarch celebrated his third anniversary with Olori Hadiza.
