The Popoyemoja palace of the 41st Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Saliu Akanmu Olasupo Adetunji, Aje Ogungunniso 1, has continued to wear new look as painters, bricklayers and other artisans were busy putting finishing touches on the palace in readiness for Friday’s coronation.

 When the Nigerian Tribune visited the palace on Wednesday, artisans were working at high pace.

 The painting of the front view of the building was almost completed while those laying the interlocking stones inside the car park of the palace were nearing completion. Bricklayers working on the upcoming structure were also busy working on the structure.

 Though, there was no government statement, the road leading to the palace from Iyana-Asuni junction could turned to a one way any moment from now to allow free flow of traffic.

 The mark of “ONE WAY” with an arrow had been inscribed on the road, though there is no awareness to that effect.

 Also, the Oyo State government has erected several billboards announcing Chief Adetunji as the new Olubadan after official announcement during a press conference on Tuesday.

 Meanwhile, sources informed the Nigerian Tribune that the traditional rite for the new Olubadan had since started on Tuesday and is expected to terminate on Friday morning when he will be installed as the 41st Olubadan of Ibadan by the Laboseinde family.
