The Olubadan-In-Council has nominated Oba Rashidi Ladoja as the 44th Olubadan of Ibadanland.

The nomination was made on Monday at the Olubadan Palace, Oke-Aremo, in the Ibadan North Local Government Area of Oyo State.

The new Olubadan was, however, absent from the meeting.

Presiding over the session, the Balogun Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Tajudeen Ajibola, said, “We (members of the Olubadan-In-Council) have all signed and nominated Oba Rashidi Ladoja as the new Olubadan of Ibadanland.

“We will forward the resolutions of our meeting to our Governor, Seyi Makinde. He will now pick a date to present a staff of office to the new Olubadan.

“The late Olubadan, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin, will be buried this week. So, this week is not feasible. He (Makinde) may decide to pick three weeks, two weeks or one week.”

The late Olubadan, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin, passed away on Monday, July 7, 2025.
