Former Oyo Governor Nominated as 44th Olubadan

Date:

The Olubadan-in-Council has nominated former Oyo State Governor Senator Rashidi Ladoja as the 44th Olubadan of Ibadanland.
He was nominated on Monday during a meeting held at the Oke-Aremo palace of the Olubadan.

We understand that Ladoja’s nomination was moved by the Balogun Olubadan, Oba Tajudeen Ajibola, and seconded by the Osi Olubadan, Oba Eddy Oyewole.

Speaking at the meeting, Oba Ajibola said all members of the Olubadan-in-Council had signed off on Ladoja’s nomination, adding that the council would now forward Ladoja’s name to Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde

Governor Makinde is expected to officially ratify Ladoja as the next Olubadan to allow 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. Olakulehin succeeded Oba Dr. Mohood Lekan Balogun, Alli Okunmade II, the 42nd Olubadan of Ibadanland.
