Today, April 12, the internal crisis bedeviling the Olubadan stool is set to be put to rest as Oba Owolabi Olakulehin is set to be endorsed as the next Olubadan of Ibadanland by the Olubadan-in-Council, with his nomination forwarded to the Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde, for final approval.
The gathering is slated to take place at the Olubadan Palace in Oja’ba, Ibadan, with High Chief Rashidi Ladoja, the Otun Olubadan of Ibadanland and former governor of Oyo State, serving as the convener.
As reported by The PUNCH, some of the Ibadan Obas may choose not to attend today’s meeting for reasons known only to them.
“I may confirm to you that some of them will not honour the invitation, even though they were duly informed. None of them (the kingmakers) will deny or say he hasn’t received the message to that effect,” a source said.
Oba Olakulehin is also expected to be physically present at the gathering.
