NEWLY installed Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba (Dr) Olalekan Balogun, on Friday, assured that he would not let down the people of Ibadanland and Nigeria in general.
The monarch made the pledge in his first public speech shortly after Oyo State governor, Seyi Makinde, presented the Staff of Office and Instrument of Office to him as the 42nd Olubadan of Ibadanland.
Speaking after receiving the staff, the Olubadan thanked the governor for the gesture, saying: “I want to assure all that I will not let the people of Ibadan down. I will not let the people of Nigeria down.”
The traditional ruler thanked all the eminent personalities, including the traditional rulers, serving and former governors and National Assembly members present for honouring him with their presence.
