The Balogun of Ibadan, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin, is poised to be crowned as the next Olubadan of Ibadan.
This development becomes necessary following the passing of Oba Lekan Balogun on Thursday, March 14, 2024.
Olakulehin, who hails from the Balogun line, is older than his predecessor, although his exact age remains unknown at this time.
He hails from Ita Baale in Ibadan North East Local Government and has been an influential member of the Olubadan-In-Council for the past decade.
Prior to this, the would-be Olubadan served as a member of the Third Republic’s House of Representatives.
