This ceremony follows Ladoja’s recent public announcement of his acceptance of the crown during a live radio program in Ibadan. Since his declaration, his residence in Bodija has seen a steady stream of visitors offering congratulations and support.

Among those who have visited Ladoja are Governor Seyi Makinde, Chief Bode Amao (Asiwaju of Ibadanland), former President General of the Central Council of Ibadan Indigenes Chief Bayo Oyero, Chief Wole Akinwande, Yemisi Adeaga, and the current President General, Niyi Ajewole. Other notable visitors include Alhaji Daud Akinola (Aare Musulumi of Yorubaland), Chief Yekini Abass (State Babaloja General), and various Baales and Ibadan Mogajis led by Chief Asimiyu Ariori, as well as market traders.

Former Minister Musiliu Obanikoro, Chief Mutiu Aare, members of Omo Ajorosun Club led by Sunday Gbenjo, and members of Borokinni Club led by Sheikh Lukman Asukuna have also shown their solidarity.

A palace source confirmed that the presentation of the beaded crown is a significant step in adhering to state laws regarding the Olubadan Declaration. The Olubadan-in-Council meeting, which will include the crown presentation, is the first meeting of the highest decision-making body in the Ibadan chieftaincy system since the new Olubadan’s assumption on July 12.

The source also noted that arrangements for the presentation are complete, with the Oluwo Afobaje of Ibadanland expected to bless the crown. The acting Governor, Bayo Lawal, may present the staff of office and address the gathering, with the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters, Ademola Ojo, also anticipated to attend.
