kingmakers nominate Olakulehin as next Olubadan
The Olubadan-in-Council has certified the Olubadan designate, Owolabi Olakulehin, fit to ascend the throne as Olubadan of Ibadanland.
The Olubadan-in-Council made the declaration at the end of a special meeting with the Olubadan-designate at the Oja-Oba palace of Olubadan on Friday in Ibadan.
The meeting had in attendance 10 Olubadan-in-Council members, while the Otun Balogun Olubadan of Ibadanland, Abimbola Ajibola, who allegedly said Mr Olakulehin was not fit, was absent at the meeting.
Addressing journalists after the meeting, the Otun Olubadan of Ibadanland, Rashidi Ladoja, said members of the council had done their part as Ibadan kingmakers.
According to him, a letter will be sent to Governor Seyi Makinde for government consent before the coronation of Mr Olakulehin as the 43rd Olubadan of Ibadanland.
“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.
