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.
The scheme, which the government announced on Friday, will require British citizens and residents’ digital IDs to be stored on phones. The government stated that while it will be “mandatory” for employees, it will not be required for people to carry their ID or be required to produce it.

Immigration, which populist groups claim is uncontrolled, is being pushed by Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Labour government, despite the UK’s long opposition to identity cards, which were abolished after World War II.
A person’s name, date of birth, and photo would be included in the free digital ID, along with details about their nationality and residency status.
According to a government statement, it will be “mandatory as a means of proving your right to work.”
One of the biggest “pull factors” for people who enter the UK illegally is that it will prevent those with no right to work from being able to find employment.
The statement added that streamlining access to tax records will be made simpler with the introduction of the digital ID, as well as simplifying applications for services like driving licenses, childcare, and welfare.
According to Starmer, “digital ID is a huge opportunity for the UK.” It will also provide countless advantages to regular people. Making our borders more secure, it will make it harder to work illegally in this nation.
The government’s earlier statements that it was considering were met with mixed reviews of the proposals.
The liberal Democrats, who are centrist, said they would not support “mandated digital ID” for those who are “forced to turn over their private information just to go about their daily lives.”

The Conservative Party’s leader, Kemi Badenoch, stated on X that her party would not support the government’s or this organization’s efforts to require law-abiding citizens to wear ID cards.
We will not support any system that British citizens must adhere to, or that deprives those of us who choose not to do so from our citizenship’s rights, she added.
The far-right Reform UK party referred to the plans as a “cynical ploy” meant to “fool” voters into believing immigration measures are being implemented.
Additionally, it sought to dispel long-standing British suspicions about widespread national ID schemes across most of Europe.
According to Reform leader Nigel Farage, “It won’t affect illegal immigration, but it will be used to control and punish the rest of us.”
I oppose @Keir_Starmer’s digital ID cards vehemently.
It won’t affect illegal immigration, but it will be used to impose rules and sanctions on the rest of us.
This much authority should never be in the hands of the state.
An identity card was attempted by the Labour Party, which was then led by Tony Blair, in the 2000s, but it was later dropped by Gordon Brown, Blair’s successor, after opposition called it a civil liberties violation.
The government appears to be betting that populist viewpoints will outweigh the long-standing opposition, given that immigration is currently rife.
The announcement, which comes as Labour is holding its annual conference, seems to have come at a time that is not coincidental.
A member of controversial Irish rap band Kneecap is back in court in London today to see if the charge against him will be thrown out by a judge.
But what is 27-year-old Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh – who performs under the name Mo Chara – charged with? And what has the Belfast band – who were recently banned from entering Canada and forced to cancel gigs in America because of it – said about the allegation?
After allegedly displaying a flag in support of the terror group Hezbollah during a performance at London’s O2 Forum in Kentish Town on November 21, 2024, g hAnnaidh was charged with a terror offence in May of that year.
Additionally, the group has seen concert cancellations after the group’s concert footage showed a member yelling “up Hamas, up Hezbollah.” It is against the law to support Hamas and Hezbollah in the UK because they are both prohibited.

The artist was accused of displaying the flag “in such a way or under such circumstances as to arouse reasonable suspicion that he supports a prohibited organization,” according to Met Police.
The Met’s counter-terrorism command was informed of an online video from the event on April 22 according to the force. The Crown Prosecution Service approved the above charge after conducting an investigation.
Following the release of the terror charge, the band later denied the allegations and said, “We will fight you in court.”
The band frequently uses the phrase “Free Palestine” during their gigs and interviews to declare that “14, 000 babies are about to die of starvation in Gaza, with food being sent by the world sitting on the other side of a wall, and once more the British establishment is focused on us.”
We vehemently defend ourselves against this “offence” and deny it. Political policing is involved here. This distracts you from the real world. The story is not ours. Genocide is a. They use an “anti-terror law” against us for displaying a flag on stage because they profit from the genocide.
The statement continued: “A charge not serious enough to even warrant their ‘crown court’, instead a court that doesn’t have a jury. What’s the objective? To restrict our travel ability. To prevent us speaking to young people across the world. To silence voices of compassion. To prosecute artists who dare to speak out.
The powerful in Britain have supported slaughter and famine in Gaza, just as they have done in Ireland for centuries, instead of standing up for innocent people or the international law principles they claim to uphold. Then they assert justification, as they do now. The real terrorists are the IDF units, and everyone can see that when they equip and fly spy plane missions.
We support the people with all our strength. You and the war criminals are at odds with you. On the right side of history, we are. You’re not, though. In court, we’ll fight you. We’ll triumph. Palestine that is free.
HAnnaidh has since appeared in court and is battling to have the case dismissed. Kneecap have previously denied the charge and said they would “vehemently defend” “themselves” despite not having entered a formal plea. Additionally, they “emphasize” that they do not support Hamas or Hezbollah.
As he appeared in court in Dublin last month, the rapper received the support of hundreds of fans as well as those who gathered there. People waved Irish and Palestinian flags as well as free Mo Chara, which “could be heard.”
When he next appears in court this morning, more supporters are anticipated. Due to a leak in the area following a burst water main, the hearing will now take place at Woolwich Crown Court.
Prosecutor Michael Bisgrove argued in his earlier court appearance that “ghAnnaidh was well within his rights to voice his opinions and his solidarity, just like everyone else is.” The video recording that shows Mr. O’Hanna displaying and flaunting the Hezbollah flag in “up Hamas, up Hezbollah” in November of last year is a wholly different thing, he added.
The charge was brought more than six months after the alleged crime, so Brenda Campbell, who is defending it, is attempting to have it dropped. If we are correct, this court has no jurisdiction, and the case is over, she said.
However, the prosecution has argued that filing a criminal charge is not required until the defendant makes his or her first court appearance. Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring must now decide whether or not he has the authority to hear the case.

If President Donald Trump determines that any of the United States’ cities that intend to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup are unsafe, he would look to move games.
Trump was asked by reporters in the Oval Office about games in Seattle and San Francisco during a press conference on Thursday about the football event, which will be co-hosted by the US, Canada, and Mexico from June 11 through July 19.

He said, “Well, that’s an interesting question, but we’re going to make sure they’re safe.” Extremist left lunatics who don’t understand what they’re doing run Seattle and San Francisco.
Six games are scheduled for Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, which is about an hour’s drive from San Francisco, and Seattle’s Lumen Field for six matches.
FIFA, which determines the game’s locations and would likely be in charge of any changes, is in charge of World Cup matters. Trump and Gianni Infantino, the president of FIFA, have a close working relationship, though.
Trump cited his policies as assisting in promoting safety ahead of the World Cup. He sent the National Guard to Washington, DC, last month to deal with what he termed a “crime emergency,” and he later claimed that there was no crime there as a result of his action.
He stated on Thursday, “We’re going into Memphis and we’re going into some other cities,” as you probably know. We’ll be arriving in Chicago very soon. The World Cup will be held in a secure environment. We’ll move to a different city if I believe it’s unsafe, without a doubt. It’s actually a very fair question.
We’re moving it out of that city if I believe it to be unsafe. We won’t allow it in any city that we believe will be even a little bit dangerous for the World Cup or the [2028] Olympics, but you know where they have Olympic overthrow right because they play in so many cities. We’ll revers some of the motion. But I’m hoping it won’t occur.
