The Olubadan-designate, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, on Tuesday disclosed that President Bola Tinubu will be among the dignitaries who will grace his coronation as the 44th Olubadan of Ibadanland.
The coronation of Oba Ladoja, a former Governor of Oyo State and Third Republic Senator, will take place in Ibadan on September 26, 2025.
The royal father disclosed this when a delegation from Ode-Omu, Osun State, paid him a royal visit at his Bodija residence, Ibadan.
Tinubu has been a friend to Oba Ladoja, as both were part of the Senate in the defunct Third Republic and governors in the Fourth Republic. They were in trenches together during the dark days of military rule in the 1990s.
He said, “Many personalities in Osun State have visited me. Governor Ademola Adeleke, former governors from the state have come. Adegboyega Oyetola sent a message. Oyetola knows the relationship between me and the Leader of the country. The Leader of the country [President Tinubu] will grace my coronation. He will come around.”
