The official coronation ceremony for Oba Rasidi Adewolu Ladoja as the 44th Olubadan of Ibadanland has been slated for Friday, 26th September 2025, at the ancient Mapo Hall in Ibadan. Following the approval of his nomination by Oyo State Governor, Engr Seyi Makinde, the state delegation paid a courtesy visit to Oba Ladoja and other members of the Olubadan-in-Council at his Bodija residence, confirming the development.
A media aide to Oba Ladoja, Chief Adeola Oloko, who confirmed the development said, “Oba Ladoja will be enthroned as the 44th Olubadan of Ibadanland on Friday, 26 September 2025.”
Recall that on Tuesday, Oba Ladoja met with the kingmakers at his private residence on Ondo Street, Old Bodija, in Ibadan North Local Government Area of the city.
The meeting, the first since Oba Ladoja’s return following the demise of the immediate past monarch, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin, in Ibadan, was held behind closed doors and lasted for close to two hours.
