In his congratulatory message, Hon. Gbolagade described Oba Ladoja as a man of uncommon distinction whose life and service stand as an inspiration to the Yoruba people and Nigeria at large. He noted that Oba Ladoja’s vast experiences as an international businessman, a former Senator of the Federal Republic, and a former Governor of Oyo State have prepared him uniquely for this revered stool.

“Kabiyesi’s record of service to humanity, his exemplary leadership in politics, and his unwavering commitment to the progress of Ibadanland and Oyo State are qualities that will greatly enrich his reign as the Olubadan. I am confident that his tenure on the throne will usher in greater unity, peace, and development for Ibadanland and its people.”

“May Kabiyesi’s reign be long, peaceful, and prosperous. Kabiyesi, igba yin a tun wa lara o.”

He concluded by expressing optimism that Oba Ladoja’s reign will not only consolidate the cultural heritage of Ibadanland but also further strengthen its political and socio-economic relevance within the Yoruba race and Nigeria as a whole.
