The newly appointed Balogun of Ogbomosoland Dr Saka Adegbite Balogun has returned to Ogbomoso after his public announcement Monday.
Dr Balogun was at Ibadan when the news became public. He lives in Ibadan, serving as chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP Advisory Board.
But on Wednesday he was back home to his Balogun Atere-Gbebi family compound at Isale-Afon, to pay homage and receive well wishers and visitors.
The Elder Statesman who was visibly elated had eyed the position of his fathers for long even preceding this period.

He once declared, “If God wishes it l will be Balogun of Ogbomoso. I don’t fret.”
People trooped in and out of the house expressing congratulations and overtly jubilant. He was accompanied by his equally happy wife Yeye Abiodun Rachael Balogun and other family members.
More visitors are expected in the compound to congratulate the revered community leader.
