Atiku Abubakar Set to Visit Ibadan Today as Advance Team Arrives Ahead

 

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is expected to pay a courtesy visit today to Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja, the newly crowned 44th Olubadan of Ibadanland, following his coronation last Friday.

Sources say that Atiku’s advance team reportedly arrived in Ibadan yesterday to make logistical and security arrangements ahead of the principal’s visit.

While neither Atiku’s media office nor the Olubadan Palace has yet confirmed the full schedule, insiders suggest his itinerary will include paying homage to Oba Ladoja, cultural engagements, and consultations with traditional and political stakeholders.

Atiku had earlier congratulated Ladoja on his installation, expressing confidence that the new monarch would bring transformative leadership to Ibadan.

Atiku, who was the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 and 2023 elections, has remained an influential figure in Nigeria’s political landscape.
