Olubadan: 21 new kings wearing ‘carton crowns’

The Olubadan of Ibadan land, Oba Saliu Adetunji, described the crowns given to the 21 new kings in Ibadan as ones made of carton.

This was contained in a statement signed by the Director, Media and Public Affairs to the monarch, Adeola Oloko, after the monarch received members of the Council of Authentic Ibadan Mogajis who paid him a solidarity visit at his palace on Tuesday.

The monarch said that he waited for 40 years before he was made a king, urging the high chiefs who were crowned king by the state government to wait for their turn to become kings.

The king also chided some Ibadan elders who allegedly said that he consented to the move by Governor Abiola Ajimobi to crown new kings in the city.
