A 14-member committee was established on Monday by Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde to oversee the installation of Oba Owolabi Olakulehin as the next Olubadan of Ibadanland and to present him with his staff.
Ademola Ojo, the state commissioner for chieftaincy matters and local government, is in charge of the committee.
The state’s commissioners for information, Dotun Oyelade, and culture and tourism, Wasiu Olatunbosun, and women’s affairs and social inclusion, Toyin Balogun, are among the other cabinet members on the committee, according to a statement released in the state capital of Ibadan.
The statement partly reads, “The coronation committee also include the son of the Olubadan-designate, Folaseke Olakulehin, Onikepo Akande, Oba Abiodun Kola-Daisi, Oba Lateef Adebimpe, former state Deputy Governor, Hazeem Gbolarumi, Toye Arulogun, Bishop Ademola Moradeyo, retired CP Sunday Odukoya, Mogaji Abduljeleel Adanla and Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters, Ramota Agberemi-Dabo.”
The PUNCH reports that the Olubadan throne became vacant after the demise of the 42nd Olubadan, Oba Lekan Balogun, in March 2024 after two years on the throne.
It will also be recalled that the governor had approved the nomination by the Olubadan-In-Council of Oba Olakulehin as the 43rd Olubadan of Ibadanland and subsequently fixed July 12 for the coronation and presentation of the staff of office.
