How next Olubadan of Ibadan will emerge
Unlike the practice in most Yoruba towns, Ibadan kingmakers do not need to consult an oracle before picking the next Olubadan after the incumbent joined his ancestors.
The Olubadan throne is open to all Ibadan indigenes able to climb the chieftaincy ladder.
The Olubadan-in-Council, which is the group of kingmakers, comprise the monarch and the high chiefs.
As checks by The Nation show, ascension is rotated between two lines — Olubadan, Egbe Agba (civil) and Balogun (military).
When an Olubadan dies, one of the topmost chiefs from both lines ascends the throne based on the principle of rotation.
From Jagun, candidates climb 21 steps before emerging as the Olubadan on the Otun Olubadan line, while candidates climb 22 other steps on the Balogun line.
If one dies on the Otun side, the Balogun produces the next Olubadan.
For instance, the late Olubadan, Oba Odulana Odugade, was in line of the Otun, while Oba Saliu Adetunji, emerged from the Balogun line.
Adetunji, who was crowned the 41st Olubadan on March 4, 2016, was born on August 26, 1928 to the family of Raji Olayiwola and Suwebat Amope Adetunji in the Alusekere compound, Popoyemoja, Ibadan.
