Governor Seyi Makinde is scheduled to give him a formal address at the Mapo Hall along with the staff of office.
Following the passing of Oba Owolabi Olakulehin, the 43rd Olubadan, on July 7, 2025, Ladoja became the Olubadan-designate.
Alaafin Oyo, Oba Abimbola Owoade, Soun of Ogbomoso, Oba Ghandi Laoye, Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar III, former governor of Ogun State, Ibikunle Amosun, and the Chief Imam of Ibadan are present at the ceremony.
To make sure a hitch-free ceremony, security personnel from the Nigerian Army are present in addition to a significant presence of security personnel, including personnel from the Department of State Services (DSS).
The distinct succession system of the Olubadan stool has a lot of respect.
