The letter reads: “I wish to refer to a letter No.18SELG.243TI/17 of Feb.16, 2022, on the above subject and inform you that His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Oyo State has approved Friday, March 11, 2022, as the date of the Installation of the New Olubadan of Ibadan.”

EKO HOT BLOG had earlier reported that the stool of Olubadan of Ibadanland became vacant following the death of the 41st Olubadan, Saliu Adetunji on January 2, at the age of 93.
