According to custom, the Olubadan Advisory Council meeting would be held in the home of the highest-ranking chief, Chief Rashidi Ladoja, a former governor of Oyo State, in his Bodija mansion.

A source claims that the Olubadan Advisory Council will propose High Chief Oba Owolabi Olakulehin, the late monarch’s heir, at the meeting.

The traditional practice of nomination of a new Olubadan by the Advisory Council, according to the source, is usually done after the eighth-day Islamic

prayers for the late monarch, which were held on Friday, March 22, 2024.

The source disclosed that soon after the nomination, a document of affirmation of Olakulehin’s nomination would be sent to Governor Seyi Makinde

through the Office of the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters.

According to The Punch, the Otun Line produced the immediate-past Olubadan, Oba Lekan Balogun, who passed away on Thursday, March 14, 2024, after two years in power and joined his forefathers.
