The Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, has nominated three Mogajis as part of efforts to fill vacancies created in the traditional hierarchy following the death of a High Chief and other chiefs.
The nominations were made in consultation with the Olubadan-in-Council, according to a statement issued by the Administrative Secretary, Olubadan-in-Line Traditional Chiefs, Sanusi Akinkunmi, and made available to PUNCH Online on Monday.
The nominees are publisher of The Street Journal Newspaper, businessman and philanthropist, Wole Arisekola; Kabiru Ademola Makinde; and Charles Durosaro.
According to the statement, the nominations followed the death of a High Chief and other chiefs, which created vacant positions within the established lines of succession in the Olubadan traditional system.
The statement said the nomination of another person to fill the remaining vacant position would be determined and announced later.
It added that further directives would be issued by the Olubadan on the date and arrangements for the official installation ceremony.
The statement read, “Following the glorious exit to glory of a High Chief and some other Chiefs, some positions in the lines of succession have become vacant.
“In preparation for filling these vacancies, His Imperial Majesty, the Olubadan of Ibadanland, in consultation with the Olubadan-in-Council, has nominated three Mogajis. They are Mogaji Kabiru Ademola Makinde, Mogaji Charles Durosaro and Mogaji Wole Arisekola.”
The latest nominations form part of Ibadan’s traditional chieftaincy succession system, in which Mogajis, who traditionally head family compounds, play an important role in the progression to higher traditional titles.
The Olubadan-in-Council also plays a key role in the administration of Ibadanland and the succession process, with traditional chiefs advancing through established lines and ranks towards the Olubadan throne.
