OWOLABI OLAKULEHIN

Senator representing Oyo South under the All Progressives Congress, Sharafadeen Alli, on Saturday, congratulated the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Owolabi Olakunlehin, on his 90th birthday and first coronation anniversary.

Oba Olakulehin, who was born on July 5, 1935, is celebrating his 90th birthday on Saturday.

His first coronation anniversary will also take place on July 12, 2025.

Olakulehin succeeded the late Oba Lekan Balogun, who passed away on March 14, 2024.

Alli, in a statement signed by him, described the traditional ruler’s reign “as peaceful, impactful and a great blessing to the ancient city of Ibadanland.”

Alli, who is also the Ekarun Balogun of Ibadanland, said, “Oba Olakunlehin’s ascension to the throne came at a time Ibadanland needed a wise, experienced, and fatherly figure to steer the traditional institution toward greater progress.”

He commended the traditional ruler for his commitment to the preservation of Ibadan customs and values, as well as his support for development and harmony across the land.

The lawmaker prayed God to continue to bless the Olubadan with sound health, uncommon wisdom, and many more years on the throne.
