A family source has told Nigerian Tribune that Olubadan-designate, Owolabi Olakulehin, will attend the next meeting called by the Ibadan high chiefs otherwise known as kingmakers.
Craving anonymity, the source who was speaking on the apprehension Olakulehin’s absence has generated, said that, “Oba Olakulehin will be available next week for the commencement of the process that will climax with his installation as the Olubadan.”
The source admitted that the Olubadan-designate is suffering from age-related illness, but noted that the kingmakers are aged, too.
Another family source who also preferred anonymity said: “There is no problem with Baba. He is old, we all know that, but he is not suffering from any infirmity. He will attend the meeting called by the kingmakers next week. By then, you journalists should come around. You will all see him.”
