Gov. Makinde to announce new Olubadan Monday
Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo will on Monday officially announce the new Olubadan of Ibadanland.
Mr Makinde said this on Saturday, at the grand finale of the burial ceremony of Oba Saliu Adetunji, the Olubadan of Ibadanland, held at the Obafemi Awolowo Stadium, Ibadan.
He said all issues hindering the announcement and installation of the new Olubadan had been resolved.
“This is another victory for Ibadan traditional institutions, the process and the system was never broken, so we have reverted to the age long system,” Mr Makinde said.
The governor said he had received a letter from Olubadan in Council in respect of the announcement of the new Olubadan.
According to him, Ibadanland has unique procedural steps as regards enthronement of new Oba and this has been in existence for ages.
The late Oba Adetunji, who was the 41st Olubadan of Ibadanland, died on January 2, at the age of 93.
