The ancient city of Ibadan was agog on Friday as Saliu Adetunji was crowned the 41st Olubadan of Ibadanland.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Adetunji, 87, was crowned at about 10.51 a.m. by the 10th Oluwo Afobaje of Ibadanland, Idowu Popoola.

NAN also reports that Adetunji, a doyen of the music industry and the former Balogun of Ibadanland, arrived the Oluwo Afobaje’s palace, Oja Oba, at exactly 9.52 a.m.

Clad in the traditional Aso-Oke, he arrived in a Peugeot 307 CC 180 with registration number KJA 701 DZ, to commence the traditional rites.

The new monarch left the Afobaje’s palace at exactly 10.18a.m. to the Afobaje arcade where he was crowned.

NAN reports that the new king, who also performed the calabash selection event, picked the Money Calabash, a reflection that his reign would depict prosperity.

Speaking at the event, Popoola, the Afobaje, described the coronation ceremony as unique in the history of Ibadan, commending Gov. Abiola Ajimobi for his support.

He also commended Globacom and producers of Eagle Aromatic Schnapps for their unflinching contributions and support to the coronation.

Popoola said the new king became a Mogaji during his father’s reign as the Olubadan in 1976.
