Rashidi Ladoja, former Governor of Oyo State and Osi Olubadan of Ibadan, yesterday said there is no controversy on who succeeds the late Oba Saliu Adetunji as Olubadan based on tradition. 10 of the 11-member Olubadan-in-Council endorsed Balogun, and Ladoja clarified the impression that he had a hand in the letter written by an Ibadan-born lawyer and former Commissioner of Justice and Attorney General, Michael Lana. He added that there is still mourning the Olubadan.
