The Otun Olubadan of Ibadan land, Senator Lekan Balogun, may be next in line as the Olubadan of Ibadan following the demise of Oba Saliu Adetunji according to the laid down hierarchy of ascension the Ibadan throne.

Vanguard reports that the hierarchical arrangement in the Ibadan system has a two line approach, the Balogun system and the Olubadan (Otun) system.

Olubadans are appointed on rotational basis to occupy the stool on the death of a monarch. The next to Olubadan and most senior on both lines are the Otun Olubadan and Balogun.

Oba Saliu Adetunji was crowned the 41st Olubadan of Ibadan following his coronation on March 4, 2016.


Prior to his coronation, Oba Adetunji was the Balogun of Ibadan land which indicates that the Otun Olubadan, Senator Lekan Balogun may be next in line according to the rotational system.

Oba Adetunji ed away in the early hours of Sunday at the University College Hospital (UCH) in Ibadan, Oyo state at the age of 93.

Up Senator of federal republic

Let's see how this event unfolds between him and Adewolu Ladoja

It may not be automatic.
Ladoja is also up for consideration.

Hopefully, the botched coronation of some chiefs as Obas by Ajimobi won't come back to hunt and hurt the chances of some people.

Fingers crossed.

R.I.P

The cocaine addict now has his opportunity to return to leadership instead of waiting endlessly for a position he'll never get as the dullard's replacement.

This guy followed Ajimobi in his kangaroo installation.
I would have loved to see his reaction after he might have enthroned and Governor Makinde choose to also install junior chiefs as kings.
However, It seems current political climate in Oyo State favour him, his younger brother Kola Balogun is the current senator representing Oyo South senatorial District in the Nigeria Senate, he is the one senator from Oyo State elected under the platform of PDP.

I think Sen. Ladoja is the OSI or has he been promoted? So he is just next in rank to Sen. Lekan Balogun. I stand to be corrected.

Who cares

He's the next Oba.

Humm

How many human head them use

Okay now...
Congratulations To Him In Advance!

Shey them go allow this one drink water drop cup bayi?

Ladoja is “OSI” and it’s impossible for “OSI”to be Olubadan as the battle is between the Balogun and “OTUN”
