JUST IN: Ladoja Emerges New Olubadan-In-Waiting

 

Former Governor Rasidi Ladoja of Oyo State has now emerged as the Olubadan of Ibadan in waiting.

The good development followed the demise of Oba Olakulehin, who joined his ancestors, barely two days after celebrating his 90th birthday. 

Ladoja, who is the most senior of the High Chiefs and next in line to become Olubadan, was crowned as Oba last August to pave way for him to ascend the revered throne.

The Otun Olubadan will succeed late Oba Olakulehin who received the staff of office from Governor Seyi Makinde, on July 12, 2024, as the 43rd Olubadan of Ibadanland. 

Oba Olakulehin ascended the throne from the chieftancy line of Balogun and he will be succeeded by Ladoja from Otun Line.
