The Olubadan palace traditional drummers are expected at the Bodija residence of the Olubadan designate, Oba Rasidi Ladoja on Tuesday.

This is line with the Ibadan Chieftancy tradition.

The movement of the palace traditional drummers is being delayed due to the long absence of the Olubadan designate, Oba Ladoja.

However, Nigerian Tribune authoritatively gathered that the drummers are expected to resume at the Bodija residence of Oba Ladoja on Tuesday.

A source close to the Balogun of Ibadanland, Oba Tajudeen Ajibola disclosed that the movement has been confirmed.

Oba Ajibola will give the directives on the movement of the drummers on Tuesday.

The Balogun of Ibadanland, Oba Tajudeen Ajibola is expected to give the directives as the Most senior High Chief in the land.
