Aminatu Abiodun

Chief Aminatu Abiodun was the 13th Iyalode of Ibadan.[1] Often described as the most powerful woman in Ibadan before her death, Abiodun was noted for her influence within the Olubadan-in-Council - the traditional government of the kingdom - and among its market women.[2][3] Before assuming the role of Iyalode, she was a businesswoman. Inside Oyo listed her as one of the "biggest five" persons in Oyo State, alongside the Alaafin of Oyo and Lamidi Adedibu, a fellow Ibadan chief.[4][5]
