Ladoja, an 81-year-old businessman, former governor of Oyo State, and one-time senator, was named the 44th Olubadan following the death of Oba Owolabi Olakulehin on July 7.

His coronation has ignited excitement across the city as residents prepare to witness his formal ascension to the revered throne, a position he attained after rising through the traditional Olubadan chieftaincy hierarchy.
