In what looks like a peaceful move, the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja, Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Rasheed Akanbi, Okanlomo Oodua, Chief Jubril Dotun Sanusi has visited the palace of the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Abimbola Akeem Owoade, to attend the coronation of Dr. Adesola Kazeem Adeduntan.
Dr. Adeduntan, an illustrious son of Ibadanland and former CEO of First bank, was officially conferred with the prestigious title of the Balogun of Oyo by the Alaafin during the ceremony.
Freshvoice Newsmedia observed that today’s gathering in Oyo marked Oba Ladoja’s first time visiting Oyo town since Oba Owoade’s coronation.
The visit helped clear the air following rumoured past loggerheads between the two traditional rulers, which included a public snub at an event.
Oba Ladoja, who is the chairman of the Oyo State Traditional Council, had earlier clarified that the snub was not intended.
Oba Ladoja is a former governor and veteran politician, while Oba Owoade took over the historic Alaafin stool after a traditional selection process.
