The Olubadan- designate and the Balogun of Ibadanland, High Chief Saliu Akanmu Adetunji yesterday declared that his first agenda is to ensure the speedy creation of Ibadan state.

Speaking at his Popoyemoja palace while receiving visitors among whom were the leaders of the Ibadan Elders Forum, Oluyole Club of Lagos, Onisese Osemeji Ibadan, Old Students of Ibadan Grammar School, Fuji Musicians Association of Nigeria (FUMAN), Baale Elewura and other groups and associations that came to greet him, Adetunji who insisted to speak in Yoruba declared that he was persuaded by the likes of Chief Omiyale, Alhaji Lamidi Adedibu and other Ibadan elders to succumb to the pressure to become Mogaji of his family and later became Jagun Balogun passing through 23 steps to become Olubadan designate.

He said the agitation for the creation of Ibadan state started in 1976 and declared that several efforts have been made to ensure that it come to pass.

The Olubadan designate cladded in the Agbada lace fabric declared that he was prosperous in his music promotion business in Lagos and other cities both at home and abroad. He said that what he had achieved since 1976 when he became the Mogaji could only be achieve by someone who depends on God only.

“The creation of Ibadan state is my first priority, we have gone to Abuja about three times, the person who was there before promised, we will continue to fight.
