According to him, the Ibadan traditional system is a reference for other towns, villages and cities in the country to emulate due to its democratic nature.

In his words “I have received a letter from the Olubadan-in-Council.

“By the grace of God, I will announce the new Olubadan of Ibadan land on Monday.

“Today that we are organizing the 40-day remembrance of the immediate past Olubadan, we have already known the next king.
