IBADAN: Akinola Felicitates Olubadan-Designate, Oba Rasidi Ladoja

Retired Captain and aspirant for Egbeda/Ona-Ara Federal Constituency, Hon. Akinola Kazeem, has congratulated the Olubadan-Designate, His Excellency, Oba (Sen.) Rasidi Adewolu Ladoja, on his nomination and approval as the 44th Olubadan of Ibadanland.

The nomination of Oba Ladoja by the Olubadan-in-Council was recently approved by the Oyo State Government under the leadership of Governor Seyi Makinde, with the coronation scheduled for September 26, 2025, a day after the monarch’s birthday anniversary.

In a statement issued through his Media Assistant, Akintunde Yusuf, Hon. Akinola described the ascension of Oba Rasidi Ladoja as “a divine and historic milestone, not only for Ibadan sons and daughters but also for the entire Yorubaland.”

He further expressed confidence in the capacity of the Olubadan-Designate to provide transformational leadership.  “Ibadan has always stood as a reference point for growth and development in Yorubaland. With Oba Ladoja’s wealth of experience as a former Governor, Senator, and accomplished businessman, he is well-positioned to attract projects, partnerships, and initiatives that will enhance the economic and cultural value of Ibadanland.”

Akinola concluded by noting the significance of the coronation date, “September 26th is a symbolic day, coming just after Kabiyesi’s birthday. On behalf of my family and associates, I join the good people of Ibadanland in congratulating Oba Ladoja and look forward to the dawn of a new era under his reign.”
