Tinubu hosts Olubadan of Ibadan at Presidential Villa
President Bola Tinubu on Friday received the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
The meeting came less than four months after Oba Ladoja was installed as the 44th Olubadan, making it his first official visit to the president since he ascended the throne.
The visit also followed a meeting between President Tinubu and Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, which took place a day earlier at the State House.
Prior to his ascension of the Olubadan throne, Ladoja served as Governor of Oyo State between May 2003 and January 2006 under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party.
Oba Ladoja became Olubadan in September 2025 following the death of his predecessor, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin, who passed away in July after a short reign.
His emergence followed Ibadan’s traditional succession arrangement, which rotates the stool between the civil (Egbe Agba) and military (Balogun) lines. Olakulehin hailed from the Balogun line, making Ladoja’s succession from the civil line consistent with established custom.
