The source stressed that while Olakulehin might be advanced in age, there exists no legal impediment preventing his coronation as the Olubadan. The family member urged patience and faith in divine timing.
“There is no law that states that Baba cannot become Olubadan. Baba is old, there is no doubt about that, just as many of the kingmakers are also old,” the source said. “What the Otun Balogun is saying has no basis. He knows he will be the direct beneficiary if Baba is disqualified.
There is no reason to want someone ahead of you disqualified because you want to attain the position. We should all learn to wait for our time. God’s time is the best.”
