Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A former Oyo State senator, High Chief Mashood Olalekan Balogun, is to succeed the immediate past Olubadan of Ibadan land, Oba Saliu Akanmu Adetunji, DAILY POST reports.<\/p>\n

The departed monarch, Oba Adetunji, who is from Balogun line was, until his installation, the Balogun of Ibadan land.<\/p>\n

He ascended the throne in March 2016 after he succeeded Oba Samuel Odulana Odugade.<\/p>\n

Our correspondent recalls that Oba Adetunji joined his ancestors in the early hours of Sunday at the age of 93.<\/p>\n

The next person to ascend the throne of Olubadan, based on the available information to DAILY POST, in line with Ibadan tradition is High Chief Mashood Olalekan Balogun.<\/p>\n

Our correspondent learnt that the ascension to the Olubadan stool starts from installation from Mogaji before promotion to either Ajia Balogun of Ibadan land or Ajia Olubadan of Ibadan land.<\/p>\n

Lekan Balogun, as fondly called, represented Oyo Central senatorial district between 1999 and 2003.<\/p>\n

Balogun, who was promoted from Mogaji to Ajia Olubadan few decades ago, had earlier worked as a lecturer at Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Kaduna State.<\/p>\n

Balogun\u2019s younger brother, Dr. Muhammed Kola Balogun, is currently representing Oyo South Senatorial District in the National Assembly.<\/p>\n

Balogun, a doctor of philosophy holder, is a native of Ali-Iwo compound in Ibadan North East Local Government Area of Oyo State.<\/p>\n

Balogun is currently the Otun Olubadan of Ibadan land and is currently the most senior chief in Ibadan land.<\/p>\n

He is to succeed the monarch in line with Ibadan tradition, DAILY POST gathered.<\/p>\n

Our correspondent gathered that there are about 34 steps to climb to get into the Olubadan In Council.<\/p>\n

All the members of the council are potential future Olubadans with the exception of Iyalode.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST correspondent gathered that for one get in to the council you have to climb starting from Mogaji\u2019s either through one of the two lines; the Olubadan (Civilian line) or the Balogun (Military line).<\/p>\n

The list of the current ranking chiefs in Ibadan obtained by DAILY POST on Sunday confirmed that Balogun is the next person to ascend the throne.<\/p>\n

Here is the list of the most senior high chiefs next to the Olubadan in hierarchy.<\/p>\n

High Chief Mashood Olalekan Balogun \u2013 Otun Olubadan<\/p>\n

High Chief Akinloye Owolabi Olakunlehin \u2013 Balogun of Ibadanland<\/p>\n

High Chief Tajudeen Abimbola Ajibola \u2013 Otun Balogun of Ibadanland<\/p>\n

High Chief Senator Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja \u2013 Osi Olubadan<\/p>\n

High Chief Eddy Oyewole \u2013 Asipa Olubadan<\/p>\n

High Chief Lateef Gbadamosi Adebimpe \u2013 Osi Balogun<\/p>\n

High Chief Abiodun Kola-Daisi \u2013 Eekerin Olubadan<\/p>\n
