  Ooni Visits Ladoja Ahead Of Coronation


The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, on Sunday, paid a courtesy visit to the Olubadan-designate, Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja, at his Bodija residence in Ibadan, Oyo State, ahead of his coronation.


The visit, which held on September 21, 2025, attracted members of the Olubadan-in-Council, Ibadan Mogajis, the Central Council of Ibadan Indigenes (CCII), students of Ibadanland as well as prominent personalities, including broadcaster and musician, Dr Yinka Ayefele.


Addressing guests, the Ooni described Ladoja as a symbol of resilience and fulfilment, noting that his life reflects the adage “what you sow is what you reap.” He stressed that the coronation of the former governor of Oyo State as Olubadan of Ibadanland was a rare blessing and a culmination of distinguished service both in politics and traditional leadership.


“Ladoja has served as governor, a political father to many, and today, he is ascending the Olubadan stool. This is a testimony to hard work, grace and destiny,” the Ooni said.


He further urged indigenes and residents of Ibadan to maintain peace before, during and after the coronation, which is expected to attract dignitaries, including President Bola Tinubu, former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, and other political heavyweights.


As a mark of royal solidarity, the Ooni presented a symbolic artefact to the Olubadan-designate, describing it as a token of unity and friendship between the thrones of Ife and Ibadan.


The visit comes as preparations intensify for what is expected to be one of the most colourful coronation ceremonies in the history of Ibadanland.
