Honourable Kola Olabiyi, former Member of the House of Representatives for Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Iwajowa/Kajola Federal Constituency, has extended warm congratulations to Oba Rasheed Ladoja, the new Olubadan of Ibadanland. Olabiyi, who now serves as Chief Financial Officer of FGN Power Company Limited, described Ladoja as a man of experience, humility, and deep commitment.
In his congratulatory message, Olabiyi said: “Your elevation to the Olubadan stool is both a recognition of your past service and a call to a new kind of leadership. You have long walked the paths of public life. Now, you wear the mantle of tradition. I see in you the capacity to unite Ibadan’s people, to bridge divides, and to steer the city toward progress with dignity.”
He urged the entire indigenes of Ibadan worldwide to come together and give their full support to the new Olubadan, stressing that collective unity is the only way to strengthen the throne and ensure Ibadan continues to grow in peace, culture, and prosperity.
Olabiyi further noted that the ascension of the new Olubadan to the throne will, in no small measure, help bring greater unity to the Oyo State Council of Obas, fostering cooperation among traditional rulers and strengthening harmony across the state.
He concluded by praying for a peaceful and grand coronation on September 26, 2025, wishing the new Olubadan a reign filled with wisdom, longevity, and prosperity for the people of Ibadanland.
