Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has urged the new Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Mashood Lekan Balogun, not to allow politicians tamper with the traditional institution in Ibadan.

Makinde, who gave the advice while speaking during the coronation of the 42nd Olubadan, advised the new monarch and members of Olubadan-in-Council to work and restore the dignity of Ibadan traditional chieftaincy system.

The governor declared that the event was a victory for Ibadanland.

According to him: “Therefore, I want to use this opportunity to ask that Kabiyesi and the Olubadan-in-Council work to ensure that the laws having to do with the ascension to the throne of Olubadan remain sacrosanct.

“The Olubadan-in-Council should remain self-regulated without any external interference from the political class.

“This is why the custodians of our culture must always take a stand against us tinkering with age-old traditional systems.

“Our elders, the members of the various councils, the chiefs, our traditional fathers, they are the gatekeepers and they must remain steadfast in their roles.”
