Monarch appoints Ara as cultural ambassador

The Ooni of Ife , Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has appointed female talking drummer, Ara , as a cultural ambassador to the kingdom of Ife .
Ara was presented an appointment letter from the office of the monarch, confirming her new position.
The female drummer made a post on her Facebook on May 20, 2016, where she showed off the appointment letter.
She wrote, "My appointment letter from His Imperial Majesty Oba Adeyeye Babatunde Enitan Ogunwusi the Ooni of Ife."
This appointment is in recognition of Ara, as a good custodian of the Yoruba tradition.
