The Asipa Baale of Idi Ose, Chief Isiaka Olabamiji Asiwaju, has appealed to the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rasidi Adewolu Ladoja, to wade into the controversies surrounding the Baale of Idi Ose stool.

Asiwaju explained that he is the most senior traditional chief in the line expected to produce the next Baale and called on the Olubadan to allow him to ascend the throne.
