However, after a two-hour closed-door meeting, the High Chiefs endorsed Senator Balogun as the next king, maintaining that it would follow tradition in naming the next Olubadan despite the controversy surrounding the succession plan.
Meanwhile, it has been gathered that former governor Rashidi Ladoja, Osi Olubadan, was absent while the other 10 High Chiefs, were present.
