Ladoja To Be Coronated Sept. 26th As New Olubadan

![]()
Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has fixed September 26th for the coronation of Oba Rashidi Ladoja as the 44th Olubadan of Ibadan land, a day after Ladoja’s 81st birthday.
The conclusion was reached at a meeting held during Governor Makinde’s visit to Oba Ladoja at his Ondo Street, Bodija, Ibadan, home.
The development is coming as a confirmation of the words of Oba Ladoja, who had told his guests on Monday that with his return to the state, he would meet relevant stakeholders to get a date for the coronation.
Oba Ladoja had earlier said he would also meet relevant stakeholders, including the governor, traditionalists: Oluwo and Araba, to facilitate his installation process, which, according to him, is coincidental.
At the meeting, a former President General of Central Council of Ibadan Indigenes (CCII), Chief Bayo Oyero, was picked to chair the Coronation Committee.
Names of other members were yet to be made public at press time.
