TRIBUNE
The Otun Balogun Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Abimbola Tajudeen Ajibola, has appealed to all stakeholders involved in the process of selecting the new Olubadan to give the next person in line to the throne, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin, more time to ascend the throne.
Oba Ajibola made the appeal while addressing journalists in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, on Tuesday.,
He stated, “Before an Olubadan can be elected, there is a general rule in Ibadanland that certain conditions must be fulfilled by the most senior chief who is next in line for the throne.
It’s not simply a matter of being the most senior and automatically becoming Olubadan. If certain conditions are not met, the individual is automatically disqualified.
The conditions include not having been imprisoned for more than three months, not having been convicted for more than three months, being medically fit and sound (i.e., not being totally blind or deaf, being able to move independently, and being able to communicate with the people), and not engaging in activities prejudicial to Ibadanland.
