Owolabi Olakusehin Likely Next in Line for Olubadan Title Based on Rotating Succession Laws
-
Rashidi Ladoja, former Oyo governor, is not next in line to succeed late Olubadan Lekan Balogun due to existing laws on succession.
-
Olubadan title moves between civil (Egbe Agba) and military (Balogun) lines; late Oba was from civil line.
-
Next Olubadan will likely be Owolabi Olakusehin, the current Balogun, who is from the military line.
-
Olubadan succession is promoted by the most senior chief, not hereditary like other Yoruba obas.
-
Amended law and court verdicts recognize two ruling lines - civil and military - for selecting next Olubadan after death of reigning one.
