BREAKING: Sen. Rashidi Ladoja nominated as 44th Olubadan of Ibadanland
The Olubadan-in-Council has officially nominated former Oyo State Governor, Senator Rashidi Ladoja, as the 44th Olubadan of Ibadanland.
NUJ FCT reports that the nomination was put forward by the Balogun Olubadan, Oba Tajudeen Ajibola, and seconded by the Osi Olubadan, Oba Eddy Oyewole, during a council meeting held at the Oke-Aremo palace of the Olubadan.
Oba Ajibola, speaking at the gathering, affirmed that all members of the Olubadan-in-Council had unanimously endorsed Ladoja’s nomination.
He added that the council would now forward Ladoja’s name to the Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, for formal ratification and for the scheduling of his coronation, during which he will receive the Staff and Certificate of Office.
This development comes after the conclusion of the 21-day mourning period for the late Olubadan, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin, who passed away on July 7, 2025, after reigning for just one year.
Olakulehin had succeeded Oba Dr. Mohood Lekan Balogun, Alli Okunmade II, the 42nd Olubadan of Ibadanland.
