Don’t Allow Politics To Interfere With Your Throne – Obasanjo Advises Olubadan by alphonsoolajide(op): 7:03am On Sep 25, 2025

Former Nigerian President, Olusegun Obasanjo, has counseled the incoming Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Abdul-Rasheed Ladoja, to draw a clear line between politics and traditional leadership as he prepares to ascend the throne. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

Obasanjo Sends Message of Congratulations and Guidance
In a statement released through his Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Akinyemi, Obasanjo congratulated Ladoja ahead of his coronation, describing the Olubadan stool as an “exalted and responsible position.”

Obasanjo reminded the monarch-in-waiting that effective traditional rulership requires humility, patience, divine wisdom, and tolerance, urging him to surround himself with wise and diverse advisors.

“I take this opportunity to congratulate you, Ade a pe lori, bata a pe lese. It is an exalted and responsible position to be traditional ruler of all Ibadan people. It requires humility, patience, divine wisdom, tolerance and advice from wide and varied quarters to succeed. Traditional rulership does not compete or conflict with political rulership. I wish you all the best and the grace, guide and direction of Almighty God,” Obasanjo stated.

Olubadan Coronation Holds September 26, 2025

The coronation of Oba Abdul-Rasheed Ladoja as the 44th Olubadan of Ibadanland has been scheduled for Friday, September 26, 2025.

As preparations intensify across the ancient city, Obasanjo’s advice is seen as a timely reminder of the delicate balance monarchs must maintain in modern Nigeria — honoring cultural traditions while staying above political rivalries.

Good advice.
As a former Senator / Governor, he is a full fledged politician.
He needs to transit to his new position as a cultural and traditional leader of the people.

When politics gets in the way of whatever you're doing, hate, instability, tribalism, indictment, evil, and other negative emotions will arise.

Politics is evil. I hope he hears.

Politics has created a natural hatred for someone about whom they know nothing. It's so evil that it alters your perspective, and you begin fighting or arguing for someone who doesn't care if you have a family or not.

If you think I'm lying, check out the comments just above and below me.

Yorubas and hypocrisy, when did respecting your Obas turn to shamelessness?

Na Una dey blame people for insulting your leaders, na una still dey tell them that respecting your leaders is shameful.

Baba is agba politician right from time, so this is not possible, he's one of the people that supported GSM to be governor, so he will always be there to advice intending politicians who have ear to listen and who are willing to take the good path of GSM as a transformer of good governance

Adviser isonu, after what you and Lamidi Adedibu did to him when he was the governor of oyo state, because he refused to share the security vote of the state 50:50 with Adedibu,you conspired with Adedibu and the idiots at the state assembly and passed votes of no confidence on ladoja and got him removed, posterity will judge you oo, go and prostrates to him personally and deliver your advice letter.
