Muslim Community of Oyo State has congratulated Oba Lekan Balogun on his appointment as the new Olubadan of Ibadanland.
This is contained in a statement in Ibadan by the Chairman, Alhaji Kunle Sanni and the Secretary-General, Alhaji Murisiku Siyanbade.
The community is elated and full of praise to Allah for counting the new Olubadan worthy to be bestowed this enviable honour.
“Not all that climb the ladder of Olubadan ascendancy get to the zenith of the stool. Only a chosen few attain it. “We, therefore, thank Allah and appreciate him for counting our revered father, Alhaji Senator Moshood Olalekan Balogun, PhD, from Ali-Iwo compound, as the new Olubadan of Ibadanland.”
The Muslim Ummah also prayed for long life and sound health for the new monarch and as well that Ibadan shall enjoy peace and prosperity during the reign of Oba Lekan Balogun.
“You started this journey in 1986, that was 36 years ago when you became Mogaji Alli-Iwo. We pray to Almighty Allah that you reign for longer than the 36 years.”
The community believed that the exposure of the new Olubadan as an academic, an administrator and a politician of repute will be a blessing to Ibadanland.
