The Balogun of Ibadan, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin, is poised to ascend to the revered position of Olubadan following the passing of Oba Lekan Balogun on Thursday.

Olakulehin, a distinguished figure from the Balogun lineage, is set to take on the mantle of leadership in Ibadan. Though specific details regarding his age remain undisclosed at this time, he is known for his extensive contributions within the Olubadan-In-Council over the past decade.

Hailing from Ita Baale in Ibadan North East Local Government, Olakulehin brings with him a wealth of experience and a strong voice, having served as a House of Representative member during the Third Republic. His impending coronation marks a significant transition in the leadership of Ibadan land.
