The former Governor of Oyo State and the Olubadan designate, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, on Monday arrived in Ibadan, the state capital.
Naija News reports that the former governor is currently at his Family House in Isale-Osi, in the Ibadan South East Local Government Area of the state.
According to The PUNCH, Ladoja will proceed to his Ondo street private residence, in the Ibadan North Local Government Area of the state, shortly after.
When contacted in Ibadan on Monday, the media aide to the 44th Olubadan, Adeola Oloko, confirmed that Ladoja is currently in Ibadan.
“The 44 Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Ladoja, is in town right now. He is at Isale-Osi. From here, we are moving to his house at Bodija,” Oloko disclosed.
Recall that members of the Olubadan-In-Council had unanimously nominated and approved Ladoja as the 44th Olubadan of Ibadanland during their meeting on Monday, April 4, 2025, after 21 21-day mourning period in honour of the late 43rd Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin.
The new Olubadan was not in attendance during the meeting, held at the Olubadan Palace, Oke-Aremo in Ibadan.
The State Governor, Seyi Makinde, is now expected to ratify the council’s decision and set a date for the presentation of the staff of office.
