Vice President Yemi Osinbajo said the openness and large heart of the new Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Olalekan Balogun, earned him the throne.
He stated this on Friday at the installation of Balogun as the 42nd Olubadan of Ibadanland.
In his remarks, Osinbajo prophesied that the reign of the traditional ruler would witness greatness.
“He was better prepared for the throne, having been a scholar, former Senator and champion of indigenous culture and community empowerment,” the vice president said.
Osinbajo commended the orderliness and unique steps taken in ascending to the throne of Olubadan.
Oba Balogun was installed and presented with the Staff and Instrument of Office by the Oyo State Governor, Mr Seyi Makinde, at exactly 12:32 p.m.
