Governor Seyi Makinde has given his approval for the appointment of Owolabi Olakuleyin as the 43rd Olubadan of lbadanland.

Eko Hot Blog gathered that this was made known in a statement by the Oyo State Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters, Olusegun Olayiwola.

Governor Makinde congratulated the new Olubadan and prayed that his tenure would birth greater developments in Ibadanland and Oyo State as a whole.

Family Begins Sale of Aso Ebi For Olakulehin’s Coronation

In preparation for the coronation of the Olubadan-designate, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin, as substantive Olubadan, his family has started the sale of ceremony fabric, commonly called aso ebi, in Yoruba land.

According to PUNCH, the Ankara fabric with blue and black colour alongside a stripped yellow ofi fabric for cap and headgear is conspicuously on display at Olakulehin’s residence in Alalubosa Estate, Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

A family source, who preferred anonymity because he was not authorised to speak, said, “We are eagerly waiting. Baba is in high spirits. We believe God’s will shall be done. The delay by those in authority shall not be the denial for Oba Olakulehin.”

When asked if he had bought the aso ebi for the occasion, the source said, “Every member of the Okugbaja family, the larger clan of the Olakulehin family in Ita Baale and all our neighbours,  is anticipating and has bought the Ankara fabric and the cap to match. We will celebrate the coronation by God’s grace.

“You remember Oba Olakulehin said he knew he would become Olubadan. He will certainly be, by God’s grace.”

The stool of the Olubadan of Ibadanland became vacant on March 14, 2024, following the demise of Oba Lekan Balogun.
