Tinubu arrives in Ibadan for Olubadan’s coronation
President Bola Tinubu on Friday departed Abuja for Ibadan, Oyo State, to attend the coronation of the new Olubadan, Rashidi Ladoja.
The presidential jet took off from the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, at about 12:45 p.m. and arrived in Ibadan at 1:45 p.m.
Received by the state governor, Seyi Makinde, and politicians, Mr Tinubu joins other dignitaries for the official installation ceremony at the historic Mapo Hall.
Mr Ladoja, a former Oyo State governor and senator, was selected as the 44th Olubadan, following the passing of Owolabi Olakulehin on July 7.
Excitement is already sweeping across Ibadan as the city witnesses Mr Ladoja’s ascension to the revered throne.
Mr Ladoja, 81, is a respected businessman and political figure who rose through the traditional Olubadan chieftaincy ranks to become Olubadan.
