The process for the installation of the 44th Olubadan of Ibadanland has begun as the Olubadan-in-Council has nominated Senator Rashidi Ladoja.
The Balogun Olubadan, Oba Tajudeen Ajibola made the nomination and was seconded by the Osi Olubadan, Oba Eddy Oyewole, during a meeting held at the Oke-Aremo palace of the Olubadan on Monday.
Oba Ajibola disclosed that all members of the Olubadan-in-Council were in support and have signed off on Ladoja’s nomination.
He added that the Council would now forward the Olubadan-designate name to the state Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde for official ratification and for the scheduling of the coronation ceremony, where the Staff and Certificate of Office will be presented.
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 reigning for one year.
Oba Olakulehin succeeded Oba Dr. Mohood Lekan Balogun, Alli Okunmade II, who was the 42nd Olubadan of Ibadanland.
