The former governor of Oyo State, Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja, is set to become the next Olubadan of Ibadan after the demise of Oba Owolabi Olakunlehin.
The demise of Oba Olakulehin paved the way for Rasidi Ladoja who is a bearer of the beaded crown and the next in line to the throne.
High Chief Rasidi Adewolu Ladoja, a prominent figure in Ibadan’s traditional hierarchy and a former governor of Oyo State will be enthroned as the next Olubadan
The Olubadan throne is unique in its structured and predictable succession system, which ensures a seamless transfer of power.
Unlike many traditional rulerships in Nigeria, the Olubadan succession follows a well-defined ladder within two ruling lines: the Otun Olubadan (civil line) and the Balogun (military line). Chiefs ascend through ranks in these lines until they reach the position of Otun Olubadan or Balogun of Ibadan land, making them eligible to become the Olubadan.
