Former governor of Oyo State and Olubadan-designate, Oba Rasidi Adewolu Ladoja, will be officially crowned as the 44th Olubadan of Ibadanland on Friday, September 26, 2025.
It was gathered that Governor Seyi Makinde has approved Ladoja’s nomination as the next Olubadan, paving the way for the formal coronation ceremony scheduled to hold at the historic Mapo Hall in Ibadan, the state capital.
A state delegation reportedly met with Oba Ladoja and members of the Olubadan-in-Council at his residence in Bodija on Wednesday to finalise preparations.
However, confirming the development, Chief Adeola Oloko, a media aide to the Olubadan-designate, said: “Oba Ladoja will be enthroned as the 44th Olubadan of Ibadanland on Friday, 26 September 2025.”
Sources also disclosed that Oba Ladoja had earlier met with the kingmakers on Tuesday at his private residence on Ondo Street, Old Bodija, in Ibadan North Local Government Area of the State.
The meeting, which was held behind closed-doors, lasted nearly two hours and marked his first official engagement with the council since the passing of his predecessor, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin.
Oba Ladoja’s coronation is expected to draw dignitaries from across the country as Ibadan ushers in a new era of traditional leadership.
