Oyo State Gov. Abiola Ajimobi, yesterday inaugurated a seven-man
judicial commission of enquiry on the review of the existing Olubadan Chieftaincy Declaration.
The commission, which was constituted on April 8, was inaugurated at the Governor’s Office. Retired Justice Akintunde Boade was named chairman while members include Chief John Ajibola, Mr. Joseph Oladele and Mr. Paul Ayoola. Others are Mr. Ogunniyi Ogunjinmi, Mr. Wasiu Gbadegesin and Mr. Adegbaye Abiodun.
Ajimobi urged the commission to review the existing requirement/qualification for ascendancy to the Olubadan throne and the selection process of Olubadan from Otun and Balogun lines.
