- Rashidi Ladoja, the former governor of Oyo state, is not the next in line to succeed Lekan Balogun, the late Olubadan of Ibadanland
- An analysis of the existing law in the state showed that the title always moved from the civil, known as Egbe Agba, and the military, referred to as the Balogun lines
- The late Balogun is from the civil as the power is expected to shift to the military, while former Governor Ladoja is from the civil, meaning that he would not be the next monarch
The death of the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Lekan Balogun, has led to controversy on who is the next Oba of one of the largest cities in Africa.
Many have tipped the former governor of the state, Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja, as the next Olubadan of Ibadanland, considering the fact that he is the Otun Olubadan, but analysis of the existing law in the state indicated that the next Olubadan would be Owolabi Olakusehin, the current Balogun of Ibadanland.
