Olubadan To Promote 7 Senior Chiefs Friday

The Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja, Arusa 1, is set to promote seven senior chiefs in Otun Olubadan line on Friday.

The promotion exercise to be presided over by the Olubadan will take place at the Olubadan Palace, Oke Aremo, Ibadan, Oyo State.

As Senior Chief, Lekan Alabi, would be promoted to Abese Olubadan from Maye Olubadan, and Senior Chief Akin Fijabi will become Maye Olubadan from Ekefa Olubadan.

Senior Chief Saka Fola Lapade would become the Ekefa Olubadan while former Senate Leader, Senior Chief Teslim Folarin, now Aare Alaasa Olubadan, would be promoted to Agbaakin Olubadan.

Senior Chief Muibi Adewuyi is expected to become Aare Alasa Olubadan from Ikolaba Olubadan while Chief Raufu Delesolu will become Ikolaba Olubadan. Chief Hammed Lanihun would become Asaju Olubadan from Ayingun Olubadan.

It will be recalled that a fortnight ago, the promotion exercise to fill the vacant positions created by the emergence of Oba Rashidi Ladoja as the 44th Olubadan began with the promotion of five Olubadan-in-Council members from Otun Olubadan down to Ekarun.

Next fortnight will afford the remaining nine other chiefs the opportunity to participate from the gale of promotion exercise sweeping through the Otun Olubadan line.
