It was reported that names of about 22 candidates were forwarded for the vacant post by the Lambo Lasuwon ruling family after the demise of Late Oba Salaudeen Oyefusi on August 2, 2014 before the selection of Oba Sotobi, who is to become Adegorushe the fifth.

There was confusion before the commencement of the event as protesters stormed the palace, asking the governor not to hand the staff of office to the new oba, but they were eventually dispersed by security men.
