Ibadan is known and tagged to be ‘Agbotikuyo’. Oba Owolabi Olakulehin, Balogun of Ibadanland, who is the head of the military line of the Olubadan system, is set to become the next Olubadan of Ibadan, OYOINSIGHT.COM can write.
From today, palace drummers would move from Alli-Iwo to the Ita Baale palace of Ọba Olakulehin, heralding his symbolic ascension of the throne.
Next in line to Olakulehin is Rashidi Ladoja, former governor and senator, who heads the civil line as Otun Olubadan of Ibadan.
The death of Oba Balogun and assumption of office of another Olubadan will cause promotion in the Olubadan system, especially in the Balogun line where the new Olubadan will emerge from.
