Two years after, Olubadan-In-Council meets, approves promotion for new high chief, others

Two years after controversial crowning of members tore apart the Olubadan-In-Council, they have met again to take important decisions.

The Nation learnt authoritatively that members of the council held an impromptu meeting at the Popoyemoja palace of the Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Saliu Adetunji, on August 26 when they came to felicitate with him on his 91st birthday. The once estranged high chiefs were led to the palace by the Otun Olubadan, High Chief Lekan Balogun. He is the next-in-line to the Olubadan throne.

High Chiefs Olufemi Olaifa and Fadare Falowo died during the crisis period but the monarch could not fill the vacancies since the council was not meeting. Though there were suggestions that he could fill the vacancies independently, interpreting the council as merely advisory, Oba Adetutunji refrained from the suggested act, believing that the crisis would definitely come to an end in no distant time.Oba Adetunji was said to have obliged them and allowed the impromptu meeting to hold.
