The immediate past governor of Ekiti State and former chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum (NGF), Dr Kayode Fayemi, has congratulated Senator Rashidi Ladoja on his coronation as the new Olubadan of Ibadanland.
In a press statement issued by the head of the Fayemi Media Office, Mallam Ahmad Sajoh, Fayemi described the installation of Ladoja as Olubadan as “a fitting recognition of his illustrious contributions to public life and his enduring service to the people of Oyo State and Nigeria at large.”
He said Senator Ladoja’s wealth of experience in politics, business and community service would no doubt be brought to bear in further uniting the Ibadan traditional institution and enhancing the welfare of his people.
Fayemi expressed confidence that the new Olubadan’s reign would usher in an era of peace, prosperity, and stability not only for Ibadan but also for the entire state of Oyo.
“Senator Ladoja is widely admired as a man of integrity and courage. His ascension to the Ibadan throne is a source of pride, not only to the people of Ibadanland but also to all Nigerians who value leadership anchored on service and humility,” Fayemi said.
While praying for wisdom, strength, and divine guidance for the monarch, Fayemi urged the people of Ibadanland and Oyo State to rally round the new Olubadan to sustain the tradition of peace and progress for which the ancient city is known.
