The newly installed Olubadan, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to establish Ibadan State before the conclusion of his administration.
Oba Ladoja, who has become the 44th Olubadan, made this request during his coronation ceremony held at Mapo Hall in Ibadan.
While addressing the audience in Yoruba, the monarch called on the President to ensure the state creation becomes a reality.
Ladoja stated: “My people sent me a message to Mr President. Mr President, they said the creation of Ibadan State is their priority.”
Also delivering remarks at the occasion, Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State remarked that the coronation of Oba Ladoja highlights the value Nigerians place on their cultural heritage.
Governor Makinde described the installation as a moment of pride for the people of Ibadan.
He said, “It is a great honour to join in celebrating the coronation and presentation of the Staff of Office to His Imperial Majesty, Oba Adewolu Ladoja, as the 44th Olubadan of Ibadanland.”
“The joy and excitement that fill Ibadan today remind us of the importance of upholding our cherished traditions.”
“It is my prayer that the reign of Oba Adewolu Ladoja will usher in lasting peace, unity, and greater progress for Ibadanland and for Oyo State as a whole.”
