The Otun-Balogun Olubadan of Ibadanland, Abimbola Ajibola, on Tuesday, April 9, 2024, declared that the Olubadan-designate, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin is sick and not physically fit to rule as the 43rd Olubadan of Ibadanland.
It would be recalled that the Olubadan stool became vacant after the demise of the late Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Lekan Balogun, who reigned for two years and died at 81.
Ajibola made the declaration in a briefing at his Sanyo private residence in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, adding that the Olubadan-designate be given time to get well before he is pronounced.
According to him, “What is in need of a hurry? Someone (Olakulehin) we have not seen. He has not spoken with us. He has not spoken with the Ibadan people.
“I am his second in command, I’m his lieutenant. He has not called me to say, ‘My Otun, I’m back. So, tell your people. And when are you seeing me?’ They are just forcing him because of their selfish interest.”
