Members of the Olubadan-in-Council have endorsed the nomination of Dr Lekan Balogun as the next Olubadan of Ibadanland.
The development was disclosed by the Osi Balogun of Ibadanland, High Chief Tajudeen Ajibola, during a briefing on Wednesday in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
Ajibola told newsmen that the decision by the kingmakers to make Dr Balogun the new Olubadan was in accordance with the tradition.
Balogun, a former lawmaker, remains the most senior chief from the two ruling chieftaincy lines, Egbe Agba (civil) and Balogun (military), that produce successors to the throne in the state.
