Obi visits Olubadan-designate Ladoja, hails him as leader of service
Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, yesterday paid a congratulatory visit to the Olubadan-designate, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, at his Bodija residence in Ibadan, Oyo State.
Obi described the former Oyo State governor as a leader whose reign would reflect service and selflessness.
“My visit is to congratulate him as the next 44th Olubadan of Ibadanland. It is also about Nigeria, about selfless leadership—leadership that is committed to turning our society around,” Obi said.
He added that Oba Ladoja’s wealth of political and administrative experience would enrich his tenure on the throne.
Responding, Oba Ladoja said his new role was not about glamour but about responsibility.
“I see my appointment as another opportunity for service. Many people erroneously believe the throne is for glamour. The time of glamour is gone. In contemporary times, it is about service—what you have on the table for the people in society,” the monarch-in-waiting said.
