Ibadan kingmakers Nominate Olakulehin As 43rd Olubadan
The current Balogun of Ibadanland, High Chief Owolabi Akinloye Olakulehin has been appointed as the 43rd Olubadan of Ibadanland by the Kingmakers in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
Olakulehin’s nomination was decided at a meeting held at Mapo Hall between 11:00 am and 12:00 pm on Friday.
The meeting, chaired by the Otun Olubadan of Ibadanland, a former governor of Oyo State, High Chief Rasidi Ladoja saw the attendance of other members of Olubadan-in-Council.
They include; Osi Olubadan, Eddy Oyewole Foko; Ashipa Olubadan, Abiodun Kola-Daisi; Ekerin Olubadan, Hamidu Ajibade; Ekarun Olubadan, Adebayo Akande; Osi Balogun, Lateef Adebimpe; Ashipa Balogun, Kola Adegbola; Ekerin Balogun, Dada Isioye and Ekarun Balogun, Abiodun Azeez.
The kingmakers are also the members of the Olubadan-in-Council.
Recall the Olubadan stool became vacant after the death of the 42nd holder of the title, Oba Mahood Olalekan Balogun, who joined his ancestors last month.
Olakulehin was then nominated by the Osi Balogun of Ibadanland, High Chief Lateef Adebimpe.
According to High Chief Ladoja, Olakulehin’s name, would immediately be sent to Governor Makinde for endorsement after ratification.
“After the governor’s consent, a day for the coronation will be announced. We thank everyone for the support, as we pray that all of us will be alive to witness the coronation,” he said.
