The Olubadan-in-Council has nominated former Oyo State Governor, Senator Rashidi Ladoja, as the 44th Olubadan of Ibadanland.
Senator Ladoja’s nomination was moved by the Balogun Olubadan, Oba Tajudeen Ajibola, and seconded by the Osi Olubadan, Oba Eddy Oyewole, during a meeting held at the Oke-Aremo palace of the Olubadan.
The nomination follows the completion of the 21-day mourning period for the late Olubadan, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin, who died on July 7, 2025, after one year reign.
Speaking at the meeting, Oba Ajibola said all members of the Olubadan-in-Council had signed off on Ladoja’s nomination, adding that the council would now forward senator Ladoja’s name to Oyo State Governor, Engr Seyi Makinde, for official ratification and the scheduling of the coronation ceremony, where the Staff and Certificate of Office will be presented.
