Governor Seyi Makinde on Thursday inaugurated the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, as the chairman of the Oyo State Council of Obas and Chiefs.

Olubadan will chair the council for the next two years before it is rotated to another Oba.

Over 40 monarchs from across the state were at the event, which was held at the House of Chiefs, Oyo State House of Assembly Complex, State Secretariat, Agodi, Ibadan.

Recall that after years of tussle, the House approved the rotation of the chairmanship of the Council between the Alaafin, Olubadan, and Soun of Ogbomoso.
