The new Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Lekan Balogun, who was today
installed as the 42nd monarch on the revered tool, has promised not to let
Ibadan down during his reign.
He made this promise at his coronation where the Oyo State
Governor, Seyi Makinde, presented him with the staff of office and the
instrument of office amidst singing and drumming at a well attended ceremony at
the Mapo Hall l.
The monarch in his maiden speech thanked dignitaries and the
people of Ibadan for their support for him to ascend the throne after 36 years
as the Mogaji of Ali Iwo.
Shortly before the presentation of the staff of office,
former Governor Rashidi Ladoja, who is the Osi Olubadan, led other high chiefs
to pay homage to the new monarch.
They all took turns to prostrate before the king.
In his remarks, Makinde urged monarchs not to dabble in
politics.
“No politician can destroy any system without the
cooperation of people in the system,” he added.
