Olubadan assures Ibadan People on New Iyalode

His Imperial Majesty, Oba Saliu Adetunji, the Olubadan of Ibadanland has affirmed that the installation of Chief (Mrs.) Theresa Laduntan Oyekanmi as the substantive Iyalode of Ibadanland would soon hold.

According to Oba Adetunji, there is no doubt that following the death of the former Iyalode, High Chief Aminat Abiodun, on December 8, 2018 and observation of the 41-days mandatory mourning period, the Otun Iyalode, Chief Mrs. Theresa Oyekanmi, is certain to be automatically installed as the new Iyalode of Ibadanland.

'Everybody knows that our chieftaincy system in Ibadan is based on promotion',he said.
