The Acting Governor Adebayo Lawal while speaking congratulated and commended the people of Ibadan for this development stressing that the State Government is committed to strengthening the traditional institution in the state to a pace setting status worthy of emulation in the country.

The newly crowned monarch H.R.M Oba Rasidi Adewolu Ladoja responding, noted that the people of Ibadan are one and have ways of settling their misunderstanding.

“They said we should do it the way it is supposed to be done. Ibadan is capable of doing its own thing.. We have ways of doing our things. Once we enter the inner chamber, you must realise that things will change. All the problems is as a result of misunderstanding”.

You will recall that Oba Rasidi Ladoja had earlier refused to accept the beaded crown of the Ajimobi and Makinde administrations alongside his fellow High Chiefs until the recently amended and gazetted Ibadan Chieftaincy Declaration by the Seyi Makinde administration which declares that only a beaded crown Oba can become the Olubadan of Ibadan.
