Days after the demise of the  Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Adetunji Saliu, the Olubadan In Council has endorsed the nomination of Dr Lekan Balogun as the next Olubadan of Ibadanland.

10 out of the 11 members of the Olubadan in Council chose Balogun ahead of others, as the Council also denied that a legal tussle could derail the succession to the Olubadan throne.

The Osi Balogun of Ibadanland, High Chief Tajudeen Ajibola, stated these at a briefing by the kingmakers on Wednesday.

According to Ajibola, the kingmakers resolved that Dr Balogun is next in line to ascend the throne of Olubadan according to tradition.
