TVC E, NEWS – Friday, March 4, has been tentatively fixed for the installation of the Olubadan-Designate, High Chief Saliu Adetunji.
The Olubadan-Designate disclosed this over this over the weekend while receiving Juju music maestro, Chief Ebenezer Fabiyi Obey in his Popoyemoja, Ibadan residence.
High Chief Adetunji noted that the date was arrived at after extensive consultations with stakeholders in the state.
According to him, the coronation had not been held before now because the late Olubadan Odulana Odugade deserved to be given a befitting burial, which was successfully completed last week.
“Sincerely, the Olubadan-in-Council must not only make, but submit their endorsement of the new Olubadan to His Excellency, the Oyo State Governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi. Then, the Governor must ratify the decision.
“Once you cross the barrier, you get the date. So, the date is Friday, March 4 at Oja’Ba, Ibadan where the previous Olubadan received their staff of office. But, Saturday, March 5 is for big reception at a venue that is yet to be decided,” he said.
The Ibadan Descendants Union in the United States had asked to know the date of the coronation and to determined the extent of their involvement.
