The Osi Balogun of Ibadanland, Oba Olubunmi Isioye-Dada, has died.
A palace source, who confirmed the development to our correspondent in a telephone conversation on Friday, said the monarch passed away after a brief illness at his Ibadan residence.
The source, who requested anonymity, disclosed that members of the Omo Oye had already moved to the late chief’s home following the news of his death.
Until his passing, Oba Isioye-Dada held the revered title of Osi Balogun of Ibadanland, a prominent position in the traditional chieftaincy hierarchy of the ancient city.
His death is expected to set in motion a chain of promotions within the Balogun line of the Ibadan traditional system, affecting several chiefs and high chiefs, including APC governorship aspirant, Sharafadeen Ali.
Under the established succession arrangement and subject to the approval of the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, Senator Ali is expected to move from Ekaarun Balogun to Ekerin Balogun of Ibadanland.
Likewise, Oba Akeem Mobolaji Adewoyin is expected to rise from Ekerin Balogun to Asipa Balogun of Ibadanland as the succession process progresses.
