Ibadan – The Oubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin, on Friday elevated six traditional chiefs in the Balogun line, including Oba Tajudeen Ajibola and Serving Senator Sharafadeen Alli, representing Oyo South Senatorial District.

Oba Olakulehin urged the chiefs to use their new positions for the progress of Ibadanland, Oyo State, and Nigeria, and to dedicate their lives to the service of humanity.

The traditional chieftaincy rites were performed by the Oluwo of Ibadanland, Chief Wahab Labosinde, who decorated the chiefs with traditional Akoko leaves.

Dignitaries present included Otun Olubadan of Ibadanland and former Governor of the state, Oba Rashidi Ladoja; Osi Olubadan, Oba Eddy Oyewole-Foko; Asipa Olubadan, Oba Abiodun Kola-Daisi; Ekaarun Olubadan, Oba Adebayo Akande; Ekerin Olubadan, Oba Hamidu Ajibade; notable sons and daughters of Ibadanland; religious leaders; guests; and others.
