After the passing of the 43rd Olubadan, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin, Senator Rashidi Ladoje, a former governor of Oyo State, is anticipated to become the next Olubadan of Ibadanland.
As previously mentioned, Oba Olakulehin died on Monday, July 7, at the age of 90, approximately a year after taking the throne.

According to the rotating succession system, which switches the Olubadan stool between the two governing lines—Balogun (military) and Egbe Agba (civil)—a new Olubadan is anticipated to surface in the days after his passing.

The next king is anticipated to come from the Egbe Agba line, where Ladoja is the most senior High Chief at the moment, as the late Olakulehin ascended from the Balogun line.

Recall that Ladoja, who is 80 years old, was crowned the Otun Olubadan of Ibadanland in August 2024, making him the next in line for the throne.

“There was no problem with taking the role of king in the Olubadan lineage,” Ladoja said after he was given his beaded crown and given the title of Oba. He emphasized that all of the other Obas were subjects and advisors, and that the Olubadan of Ibadanland was still the only paramount king in the old city.

He also stated that he would be willing to take the throne if the chance arose.

The previous events were caused by misunderstandings because we were enquiring as kings, “Where is our domain?”

Since the declaration states that Otun, Osi, Asipa, and Ekeerin, as well as all of us in the Olubadan line, can become king, they have responded by saying that we were kings in the Olubadan line.

The location of our domain, which I have been inquiring about, has been addressed. The Olubadan can only be those who are God’s chosen ones. There have been people who became Otun and Balogun but ultimately did not become Olubadan.

Since Oba Olakulehin can send us anywhere he pleases as our king, we have now assumed the roles of counsel and servant to him. According to Ladoja, Oba Olakulehin is the only monarch in Ibadanland.
