The Otun Balogun Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Abimbola Ajibola, has alleged that the Olubadan-designate is being forced to rule adding that Oba Owolabi Olakulehin is ill at the moment.
Oba Ajibola made this claim on Tuesday during a chat with newsmen at his Sanyo private residence in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital
He pointed out that Oba Olakulehin is still ill.
“What is in need for hurry? Someone (Olakulehin) we have not seen. He has not spoken with us. He has not spoken with Ibadan people.
“I am his second in command, I’m his lieutenant. He has not called me to say, ‘My Otun, I’m back. So, tell your people. And when are you seeing me?’ They are just forcing him because of their own selfish interest,” he said.
The Olubadan stool became vacant after the demise of the late Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Lekan Balogun.
Oba Balogun who died at the age of 81 years reigned for two years.
