This transition marks a momentous shift in leadership, as Oba Owolabi Olakulehin prepares to assume the mantle of the 43rd Olubadan of Ibadanland.

It is worth noting that the late Oba Balogun’s son, Sunbo Owolabi, had previously served as the commissioner for water resources during the tenure of former governor Abiola Ajimobi.

Furthermore, Rashidi Ladoja, the next in line to Oba Owolabi Olakulehin, holds significant importance in the succession process. Ladoja, a former governor and senator who leads the civil line as Otun Olubadan of Ibadan, is a key figure in the unfolding transition of leadership within Ibadanland.
