Olubadan elevates five Ibadan senior chiefs

The Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Olalekan Balogun, on Friday elevated five senior chiefs in an installation ceremony held at the ancestral palace of Aliiwo dynasty, Aliiwo Compound, Oje area, Ibadan.
The demise of the immediate past Olubadan of Ibadan, late Oba Saliu Adetunji, made Senator Olalekan Balogun, then Otun Olubadan, become new Olubadan, paving way for the upward movement of the senior chiefs behind him.
The elevated chiefs are Senator Rashidi Ladoja who was elevated from ‘Osi Olubadà n’ to ‘Otun Olubadà n’. Chief Eddy Oyewole elevated from ‘Ashipa’ to Osi Olubadan while Chief Abiodun Kola-Daisi was promoted from ‘Ekerin’ to Ashipa Olubadà n’.
Also, Chief Hamidu Ajibade, the ‘Ekarun Olubadan’ was elevated to ‘Ekerin Olubadan’ and Chief Adebayo Akande was promoted from ‘Abese’ to ‘Ekarun Olubadà n.’
The Olubadan who was represented by Otun Balogun, Chief Olakuleyin Ajibola, charged the elevated chiefs to see their new positions as a call to higher duty. He urged them to use their respective positions for the growth, development and progress of Ibadanland.
Speaking on behalf of the elevated chiefs, Mr Ladoja, who is a former Governor of Oyo State, pledged to use the new position for the development of Ibadanland.
He assured Ibadan sons and daughters of absolute commitment to all things that could bring unprecedented development and growth to the town.
