Olubadan Moves to Crush Chieftaincy ‘War’; Sets Up Powerhouse Panel to Settle Throne Disputes Once and for All!

The Olubadan of Ibadanland has taken a firm stand to ensure that peace and tradition prevail in the ancient city. To stop growing arguments over who gets to sit on certain traditional thrones, the monarch has officially set up a special panel to dig into the truth.

In Ibadan, where the journey to the top throne is a long and organized climb, some “minor” disputes have started to cause friction between family houses. Some chiefs are arguing over who is next in line, while others are questioning the rules being used for new appointments.

To keep things from getting messy, the Olubadan has picked a team of experts—including wise elders who know the history of every family house and lawyers who understand the “letter of the law.” Their job is simple: go back to the records, listen to all sides, and tell the Palace exactly who the rightful heirs are.

“The Olubadan wants everything done by the book,” a palace source said. “He won’t allow politics or money to jump the line of succession that our ancestors left for us.”

The panel has been told to work fast. Ibadan is famous for its unique and peaceful way of choosing leaders, and the Olubadan is determined to keep it that way. For the families involved in the dispute, all eyes are now on the committee to see whose claim will be backed by history and whose will be tossed aside.
