Oyo state government fixes coronation date for new Olubadan

The Oyo State Government has fixed Friday, July 12, 2024 for the coronation and presentation of staff of office to the new traditional ruler of Ibadanland, , Oba Owolabi Olakulehin, and urged the general public, particularly the people in Ibadan, to look forward to a spectacular coronation ceremony.

Penpushing reports that the Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Dotun Oyelade in a statement said the Olubadan-designate, will be installed as the 43rd Olubadan of Ibadanland at the ceremony slated to be held at the ancient Mapo Hall.

The Commissioner in the statement urged the residents of the ancient town to learn to be patient and believe in an administration that has not let them down in five years, stressing that insinuations and mischievous innuendos that dogged the process leading to the installation of the new monarch did not deter the Governor from toeing the path of justice and fairness

Penpushing further reports that it is recalled that Olubadan stool became vacant following the demise of the late Oba Lekan Balogun on March 14, 2024, and thereafter, the Ibadan kingmakers had nominated Olakulehin at a meeting on April 12, 2024 as the Olubadan-designate in accordance with the Olubadan Chieftaincy Declaration of 1957.
