The Olubadan Advisory Council stated that the ancient metropolis would continue to honour the age-long recognition of eminent personalities across the country, who have identified with Ibadan in particular and Yorubaland in general.
It added that such honour would be conferred on the deserving beneficiaries, irrespective of their religion, politics, creed or race.
“The position of the Olubadan Advisory Council supercedes any other contrary information that might have been in the public domain,” Ogunsola stated in the release.
It would be recalled that the Olubadan, last June, conferred chieftaincy titles on the governor of Kano State, Dr. Abdulhai Umar Ganduje and his wife, Professor Hajiya Ganduje.
The governor was so honoured, based on his contributions to the development of Ibadanland, especially the construction of a gigantic building for the University of Ibadan and his fatherly role to Yoruba living in Kano.
