The Olubadan-in-Council has certified the Olubadan-designate, Chief 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 Oja-Oba palace of Olubadan in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, on Friday, April 12, 2024.
The meeting had in attendance ten Olubadan-in-Council members while the Otun Balogun Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Abimbola Ajibola, who allegedly said Olakulehin was not fit, was not at the meeting.
Addressing journalists after the meeting, the Otun Olubadan of Ibadanland, Chief Rashidi Ladoja, said members of Olubadan-in-Council had done their part as Ibadan kingmakers.

He further disclosed that a letter would be sent to Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde for the government’s consent before the coronation of 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 added.
The stool became vacant on March 14, 2024, after the death of Oba Lekan Balogun, who reigned for two years and died at the age of 81.
