Oba Adedotun Gbadebo, Okukenu IV, is 80 years old today and this is a monarch in whom the Egba are well pleased and proud. Under Oba Gbadebo, the usual bickering, unhealthy rivalry, or superiority fight has ceased. Oba Gbadebo joined the Army after bagging a degree from the Faculty of Arts of the nation’s premier university, the University of Ibadan. Oba Gbadebo always wears that gentle, genial look of a man who is never bothered by anything. Oba Gbadebo is truly the epitome of an apolitical royal father.
