OLUBADAN STOOL: Makinde Visits the Family of Late Olubadan, Says Ibadan Traditional Institution Must Return To Its Original Concept

Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, on Tuesday, has reacted to the controversy trailing the Olubadan stool, saying that the Ibadan traditional institution must revert to its original concept.

He gave the directive on Tuesday when he paid a condolence visit to the family of late Olubadan of Ibadanland, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Saliu Adetunji, Ajeoguguniso 1 who joined his ancestors on January 2, 2022 at the age of 93.

“This is the last time such controversy on who will succeed any late Olubadan and who is not ripe for the throne will ever surface.

”And as a government, I am giving you the assurance to all indigenes and residents of Ibadan that what our late monarch stood for in his lifetime is what I will enforce.

“Whoever is willing can key into it. We will do what is right and acceptable to preserve the integrity and the sanctity of Ibadan Traditional Institution,” Makinde said.
