The Olubadan-designate, Oba Rasidi Adewolu Ladoja, has emphasized that many people mistakenly perceive the Olubadan title as one associated with prestige and luxury.
Ladoja, who previously served as the governor of Oyo State, stressed on Sunday that the position is primarily about dedication to the well-being of others.
He made this known while hosting Mr. Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, at his residence in Bodija, Ibadan.
During his address to those present, the former governor encouraged Mogajis (heads of families) to return to their ancestral homes to guide and support the younger generation.
He pointed out that he is setting an example by refurbishing his family house located in Isale Osi, within Ibadan South West Local Government Area.
Ladoja further stated that becoming the Olubadan of Ibadanland presents yet another chance for him to contribute to the service of humanity.
Ladoja said, “I see my appointment as the Olubadan as another opportunity to serve the humanity.
“Many people erroneously belief that the throne is for glamour. The time of glamour is gone. In contemporary period, it is about service. What do you have on the table for the people in society. People talk of Imperial Majesty where is the empire?
“Even the empire where the sun never set, where is it today? It is about service to humanity. This is why I have told our Mogajis (family heads) to go back to their ancestral homes to mentor generations of young elements, that they can become whatever God want them to be even from that environment.
“I am leading by example by renovating my family compound at Isale Osi in Ibadan South West local government area and I intends to chose days that I will be staying there even as Olubadan.”
