The Awujale and Paramount Ruler of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona (Ọgbagba Agb’ọtẹwọlẹ II) ascended the throne even before the incumbent governor, Dapo Abiodun was born.

Born on Thursday, May 10, 1934, Adetona, from the Anikinaiya Ruling House was crowned as the 58th monarch of Ijebu nation on April 2nd 1960 at Itoro, Ijebu- Ode.
On his part, 63 year-old Governor Dapo Abiodun was born into the royal family of Iperu on May 29, 1960 almost two months after the Awujale ascended the throne of his forefathers.

Oba Adetona was just 25 years of age and just arrived in London, trying to settle down to pursue a course in Accountancy, when the news of the passage of the reigning Awujale, Oba Gbelegbuwa II, got to him.

Recounting in his autobiography how he became the Awujale, he said “It was as I was settling down to pursue my course that the sad news came about the demise of the Awujale, Gbelegbuwa II. The news, as I said, meant little to me, even though I knew it was the turn of my ruling house to present the next candidate. My father, as far as I knew then, was an obvious candidate and could therefore assume succession. Even if, for some reasons, he was not chosen, there was still his brother, Pa Adenaiya.
