The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has congratulated Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja, Arusa I, on his installation as the 44th Olubadan of Ibadanland.
In a post on his verified X handle on Saturday, Obi said Ladoja’s ascension to the revered throne is a celebration for the people of Ibadan and a source of pride for the entire Yoruba nation and Nigeria as a whole.
The former Anambra state governor stated that the enthronement symbolises the enduring harmony between tradition and modernity in the society.
“I warmly congratulate my dear brother, Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja, Arusa I, on his installation as the 44th Olubadan of Ibadanland.
“As former Governor of Oyo State, Oba Ladoja played a vital role in shaping the growth and development of Ibadan.
“I am confident that the same spirit of vision, dedication, and service that defined his public leadership will now find fuller expression in his new role as custodian of Ibadan’s rich cultural and traditional heritage.
“It is my earnest prayer that Oba Ladoja’s reign will be long, peaceful, and fruitful, bringing enduring blessings to the land and its people,” he wrote.
