With humility and deep reverence, I, Hon. Suleiman Hamidu Ajibade, 2027 Akinyele/Lagelu Federal Constituency hopeful, rise in joy to pay glowing tribute to the enthronement of His Imperial Majesty, Oba Adewolu Ladoja, as the new Olubadan of Ibadanland.
Ibadanland, the cradle of warriors and custodians of heritage, has once again been adorned with the glory of leadership divinely chosen. The emergence of Kabiyesi Adewolu Ladoja is not merely a coronation — it is the fulfillment of destiny and the renewal of hope for our people.
As the heir of my revered father, Oba Salawudeen Hamidu Ajibade, the Ashipa of Ibadanland and Eekata Olubadan of Ibadanland, I fully appreciate the sacred weight of this royal stool. The Olubadan is the living symbol of Ibadan unity, the guardian of our traditions, and the mirror of our collective pride.
Your ascension, Kabiyesi, is a beacon that assures us of peace, wisdom, and prosperity. May your reign be long, illustrious, and blessed with justice that uplifts the common man, wisdom that preserves our culture, and strength that unites Ibadan sons and daughters at home and in the diaspora.
On behalf of my family, political associates, and the good people of Akinyele and Lagelu, I pledge unwavering loyalty to the throne of Olubadan. Ibadanland rejoices today, for a new dawn has come under your royal watch.
Kabiyesi, Kade pe lori, ki bata pe lese, ki irukere pe lowo.
May the heavens guard your reign, and may Ibadanland prosper under your majestic leadership.
Long Live the Olubadan of Ibadanland! Long Live Ibadanland! Long Live Oyo State!
Hon. Suleiman Hamidu Ajibade
Akinyele/Lagelu Federal Constituency Hopeful (2027)
Heir of Oba Salawudeen Hamidu Ajibade,
Ashipa of Ibadanland & Eekata Olubadan of Ibadanland
