Former Oyo Governor, Ladoja, Backs Senator Lekan Balogun As Olubadan-elect | Sahara Reporters

A former Oyo State governor and Osi Olubadan of Ibadan, Rashidi Ladoja, has backed the choice of Senator Lekan Balogun as the next Olubadan of Ibadanland.Kingmakers in the city had insisted that no court case would stop the appointment and installation of the next Olubadan.Speaking on Thursday over the issue, Ladoja said, “Uninformed people are just causing unnecessary tension in Ibadan.

Otun Balogun of Olubadan, Tajudeen Ajibola, who spoke on behalf of the kingmakers, said, “The case doesn’t have anything to do with kingmakers. The law is there. We are the kingmakers. I want to say that we are 12 in Olubadan-in-Council. Ten of us have endorsed Lekan Balogun; Iyalode is also part of us. We endorse the most superior.“There is no law without exception. The exception is that we can appoint anyone from Ekerin Olubadan if the Otun Olubadan has a questionable character.
