The lawmaker expressed appreciation to the Olubadan, saying the elevation further deepened his resolve to serve Ibadanland and its people diligently, while ensuring the rich cultural heritage of the city was preserved and promoted.

“I am deeply humbled by this recognition and elevation by our esteemed Olubadan. It is a call to greater responsibility, and I assure our people that I will continue to contribute positively to the progress and unity of Ibadanland,” Senator Alli said.

He congratulated other elevated Obas and chiefs, including Oba Tajudeen Ajibola, who moved from Otun Balogun to Balogun and Oba Kolawole Adegbola, who transitioned from Osi Balogun to Otun Balogun.

Others are Oba John Olubunmi Isioye Dada, who advanced from Ekerin Balogun to Osi Balogun, Oba Dauda Abiodun Azeez, who moved from Ekarun Balogun to Ashipa Balogun, and Chief Akeem Bolaji Adewoyin, who ascended from Abese Balogun to Ekerin Balogun.
