There is great expectation as the elite from various parts of Nigeria gathered today at the ancient city of Ibadan, Oyo State, to witness ex-Governor Rashidi Ladoja’s official installation as the 44th Olubadan of Ibadanland.

Ladoja received the crown at the Ose Meji Temple in the Ibadan South-East Local Government Area of Oyo State after receiving the traditional Akoko leaf at the Labosinde Compound, Oja’ba, Ibadan.

His Staff of Office is finally presented by Governor Seyi Makinde also at the Mapo Hall.

Recall that Ladoja, a former governor of Oyo State, became Olubadan-designate following the passing of the 43rd Olubadan, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin, who died on July 7, 2025.

Observers told NewsOrient correspondent that with Ladoja’s wide political influence and connection, this is a great new era for the age long influential Ibadan royal stool.

We observed that the joy and confidence exuded by most of the culturally and flamboyantly dressed guests at the lavish events seem also to suggest the same high expectation.
