The Olubadan-designate, Owolabi Akinloye Olakulehin, has made a public appearance amid controversy over his health status.
Carnival media recalls that Olakulehin, who hailed from Okugbaja lineage in Ita Baale area of Ibadan, had earlier been nominated and appointed as the 43rd Olubadan by the Olubadan-in-Council at the meeting presided by the Otun Olubadan of Ibadanland, High Chief Rasidi Adewolu Ladoja on Friday, 12th April, 2024.
It was reported that Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde had on Saturday said that Olakulehin would ascend the throne as the 43rd Olubadan of Ibadan when he is strong enough to complete the processes for his installation.
Makinde made the statement at the burial ceremony organised by the state government in honour of the 42nd Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Mahood Olalekan Balogun.
A few days after Makinde’s comments, Olakulehin made a public appearance.
