The Olubadan-designate, Oba Rasidi Adewolu Ladoja, has declared that only God determines who becomes Olubadan of Ibadanland.
He made this declaration on Monday in a statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the Olubadan, Chief Solomon Olugbemiga Ayoade.
The former governor spoke shortly after returning to Ibadan from his travels.
Addressing guests at his Bodija residence, Ladoja said: “Only God chooses Olubadan, the choice of Olubadan is not by power, might, riches or wisdom but by God. My becoming Olubadan of Ibadanland is God’s ordained considering the challenges faced before reaching the pinnacle of Ibadan traditional rulership.”
While addressing the gathering, the former governor appealed to all indigenes and residents of the ancient city to put the interest of the nation first and urged them to support leaders at the local, state, and federal levels.
