Olubadan-elect’s son, Femi Balogun lauds Makinde’s preservation of age-long chieftaincy institution

The first son of the Olubadan-elect, Aremo Femi Balogun has commended Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo state for his wisdom in handling succession issue of the Olubadan stool.

Aremo Balogun, whose father, High Chief Lekan Ishola Balogun has been nominated by Ibadan kingmakers to ascend the throne, in a letter written to the governor, praised Makinde’s deep respect for traditional institution and courageous steps the governor took in resolving the earlier controversy surrounding the stool.

According to him, the governor has indeed preserved the age-long Ibadan chieftaincy institution and saved it from disrepute.

The letter read in part, “Your Excellency’s deep respect for traditional institution and diplomatic disposition, which resolved the contentious issues arose from earlier controversy over the successor to the Olubadan stool, has put an end to what could have brought the Ibadan chieftaincy and traditional institution to disrepute.

“On this note, I salute your courage and great wisdom in resolving the issue to the satisfaction of everyone”, he added.

Aremo therefore, on behalf of the royal family assured the governor of their cooperation with the Oyo state government in its drive towards making “Ibadanland a model city.”
