Preparation for the Next Olubadan’s Coronation Begins as Family Shares Aso Ebi

The Osi Balogun of Ibadanland, Oba Lateef Adebimpe, has announced that preparations for the coronation of the Olubadan-designate, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin, as the new Olubadan of Ibadanland, are underway. Oba Adebimpe made this announcement after members of the Olubadan-In-Council visited the Olubadan-designate at his residence in Ibadan.

Oba Olakulehin made his first public appearance since the passing of the late 42nd Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Lekan Balogun. Also present at the meeting were other chiefs, including the Osi Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Eddy Oyewole, the Ashipa Olubadan, Oba Abiodun Kola-Daisi, and Asipa Balogun, Oba Kola Adegbola.

Oba Adebimpe assured the public that Oba Olakulehin is in good health, stating, “It is impossible for the Olubadan-In-Council to nominate Olakulehin as the Olubadan unless we are sure that he is in good condition.” He added that preparations for Olakulehin’s coronation ceremony are ongoing.

Meanwhile, the family of the Olubadan-designate has begun distributing clothes for the coronation, as observed during the visit to his residence. This gesture signifies the commencement of traditional preparations for the upcoming coronation ceremony.
