Barr. Akeem Adedeji Agbaje, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and 2027 gubernatorial aspirant in Oyo State, has congratulated His Imperial Majesty, Oba (Sen.) Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja, ArusA 1, on his historic coronation as the 44th Olubadan of Ibadanland.
Barr Akeem Agbaje described Oba Ladoja’s ascension to the revered throne as a moment of pride not only for Ibadan indigenes but for the entire Yoruba race, noting that his wealth of experience in governance, business, and statesmanship uniquely positions him to bring enduring progress to Ibadanland.
He extolled the monarch’s distinguished record as an international businessman, former Senator of the Federal Republic, and former Governor of Oyo State, stressing that these experiences have broadened his worldview and enriched his capacity to lead with wisdom and foresight. According to him, Oba Ladoja’s wide interactions across Nigeria and beyond will reflect positively on the people, culture, and future of Ibadanland.
“As a leader whose life has been dedicated to service at different levels, Oba Ladoja embodies the resilience, courage, and dignity that Ibadan is known for. His coronation marks the beginning of a new chapter of peace, unity, and development for our land and our people.”
“May Kabiyesi’s reign be long, peaceful, and prosperous. Under his leadership, the Olubadan stool will continue to stand as a symbol of unity and progress.
Kabiesi, igba yin a tun wa lara o.”
