In a bid to strengthen his reign and improve efficiency on Chieftaincy Matters, Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Lekan Balogun, Alli Okunmade II, has made a significant change within his administration.
On Monday, he relieved his Personal Assistant on Chieftaincy Matters, Chief Isiaka Akinpelu, of his duties and appointed his kinsman, Alhaji Lateef Muibi Balogun, Baale Afijagba, as the replacement.
The new appointment was announced through a letter from Oba Balogun, who explained that the decision was part of an ongoing reorganisation within the palace.
He urged Alhaji Muibi Balogun to work alongside other staff members to ensure a seamless approach to chieftaincy natters.
The Olubadan emphasised the importance of unity among all stakeholders and encouraged the new appointee to uphold the excellent reputation of the Aliiwo Dynasty. The appointment, he said, took immediate effect.
