I’m Not One Of You Again, Olubadan Tells Atiku by ajbabs(op): 10:21pm On Sep 30, 2025

The 44th Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rasheed Ladoja, revealed that he had withdrawn from active politics to focus on his role as monarch.

Oba Ladoja stated this when Ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar, alongside a former Senate President, Iyorchia Ayu, ex-governors Nasir El-Rufai (Kaduna), Liyel Imoke (Cross River), and other prominent politicians, paid him homage at his private residence in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, following his coronation.

He stated, “I’m not one of you again. I am the Olubadan of Ibadanland. So, I am for everybody now. I am not a politician anymore. Welcome to my house."

“Now that I am the Olubadan, I am no more interested in any other than the Olubadan. You are welcome to my house."

Recounting his political journey with Atiku, he explained, “We started from the Social Democratic Party, we were in exile together, we were in the Peoples Democratic Party together. When I wanted to create an identity, I went to the Accord Party, which became a household name here. I know you politicians have a way of coming back.

“All the religious leaders said that the only thing the leaders can do is to promote justice and fairness. I will serve my people—Ibadan people, the state, Africa and the world at large. I will depend on your support and advice.”

The PUNCH reports that Ladoja was officially presented with the staff and instrument of office last Friday by Governor Seyi Makinde, who cut short his annual leave to personally attend the historic event.

The event marked the grand finale of activities celebrating former Oyo State governor, Senator Rashidi Ladoja’s ascension to the revered throne of Olubadan of Ibadanland.

The coronation concluded a week-long celebration that featured a cultural day, a coronation lecture, a praise and worship service, and the monarch’s 81st birthday, which was celebrated in grand style at Liberty Stadium

The new Olubadan ascended the throne following the passing of the 43rd Olubadan, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin, who died on July 7, 2025, at the age of 90.

May be the Ladoja guy has used style to reject Tinubu and Atiku like that.
Obi has no chance at all with this statement of Ladoja.

What a polite rebuff for Atiku aka Dubai Landlord and his gang.

The Olubadan of Ibadan is now a father of all his people and cannot by hook or by crook dragged into partisan politics.

Atiku had better look elsewhere.

Kikikiki-kakakaka!!! kiokiokio-kwakwakwa!!!

Ladoja was Governor four years before Obi became Governor, then he became a senator and he is far older than Obi. Dem no be mate..
So, kingship in Alaigbo is like Labour Party ticket where candidates stepped down for him?. Just dey take am easy with this your packaging of Gbajue.

I don’t know what is wrong with you people. He rejected Tinubu yet Tinubu was present at his coronation.

Is this how you want to win elections for your Messiah? By peddling lies and propaganda, thinking Nigerians do not have sense?

Ladoja actually emphasized that 'he now belonged to everyone' during Tinubu's visit at his coronation.

Stop saying rubbish for political reasons. Kwara and Kogi banditry are caused by the illegal mining there.

Who am I to school you on the need to give recognition respect the elders, especially when it even involves the traditional institutions?

So, if you become a governor at 29 and a governor of another state is 65, you would still assume you are mates, right?

That's how you were trained and as such, I can not help you.

My only advise to you is to ensure you do not pass down this same mentality to your children and younger generations.

This kind of behavior is not good

They made a rule of a minimum number of characters and you're trying to beat it

What has your post added in terms of value?

Isn't this same behavior that many of your leaders and followers alike exhibit and you would still say that your country is not good

Respect rules

People like that are focused on positions and no other thing.

Simple.

It shows his mentality

He's married at 30 and sees himself as mates with someone getting married at 55.
