In a significant display of political unity, a delegation of prominent Nigerian politicians has arrived in Ibadan to pay a courtesy visit to the newly coronated Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rasidi Adewolu Ladoja. The group, led by former Vice President Abubakar Atiku, includes notable figures such as Nasir El-Rufai, former governor of Kaduna State, Liyel Imoke, former governor of Cross River, and Iyorcha Ayu, former Senate President.
According to reports, the visit is currently underway at Ladoja’s residence in Ibadan, with the delegation engaging in discussions with the Olubadan. This gathering holds significance, given the recent coronation of Oba Ladoja as the 44th Olubadan of Ibadanland, which took place last Friday. Prior to his coronation, Ladoja served as the governor of Oyo State, bringing a wealth of experience and knowledge to his new role.
The visit by these high-profile politicians demonstrates their respect and acknowledgment of the Olubadan’s position, as well as their interest in fostering strong relationships with key stakeholders in the region. As a former governor of Oyo State, Ladoja’s insight and understanding of the local dynamics are invaluable, and the delegation’s visit may be seen as an attempt to tap into this expertise.
The meeting between the Olubadan and the delegation is likely to focus on various issues affecting the region, including development, governance, and community relations. With their collective experience in politics and governance, the group may explore ways to collaborate and support the Olubadan in his new role, ultimately contributing to the growth and prosperity of Ibadanland.
As the visit continues, it is expected that the discussions will yield positive outcomes, reinforcing the importance of cooperation and dialogue among leaders in Nigeria. The delegation’s presence in Ibadan serves as a reminder of the significance of building strong relationships and fostering unity among political leaders, which can have a profound impact on the country’s development and progress.
