Olubadan: Separate Tradition From Politics – Obasanjo Tells Ladoja

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has congratulated the 44th Olubadan of Ibadan designate, Abdul-Rasheed Ladoja, ahead of his coronation ceremony slated for Friday.

Obasanjo said humility, patience, divine wisdom, and tolerance were required to succeed in the exalted position.

“It is an exalted and responsible position to be the traditional ruler of all Ibadan people. It requires humility, patience, divine wisdom, tolerance and advice from wide and varied quarters to succeed,” Obasanjo said in a statement by his Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Akinyemi, on Wednesday.

“Traditional rulership does not compete or conflict with political rulership.

“I wish you all the best and the grace, guidance, and direction of Almighty God,” he added.
