Olubadan Coronation: Lagelu Indigenes Club Congratulates Oba Ladoja as 44th Olubadan
The Lagelu Indigenes club has joined other socio-cultural clubs in the ancient city to congratulate His Imperial Majesty the Olubadan of Ibadanland Oba Rasidi Adewolu Ladoja Arusa1 on his coronation as the Olubadan of Ibadan land
The Club in a congratulatory message jointly signed by the President Soji Oguntola and the Publicity Secretary Alhaji Abiodun Akinkunle described the Monarch as an upright Man who is passionate and committed to the development of Ibadanland
“It is our prayers that your reign be marked by wisdom, justice, and prosperity for the people of ibadan land.May you rule with kindness, compassion, and strength, bringing peace and happiness to your kingdom.”
“On this historic occasion, Lagelu Indigenes club is calling on your imperial majesty to use your Influence and divine wisdom to bring unity and peace to all royal fathers in yoruba land.”
“We hope your leadership will bring about a new era of growth, unity, and progress for ibadan land, Yoruba race and the entire Nation as a whole.”
The club will like to recall that Ibadan had always been at the forefront of liberation of Yoruba land like your fore fathers did in 1840 during the Jalumi war when they fought fulani jihadist to a standstill to free yoruba from intimidation and oppression.
Though in the present day realities the only Jalumi war is to have the Ibadan state created during your time and use your Influence to attract investment to Ibadan land and reduce the menace of land grabbing within Ibadan land.
The club is also calling on His Imperial Majesty to use his influence to resolve the boundary dispute at Odo Oba between Lagelu Local Government and Iwo Local Government.
This dispute has attracted the attention of the National Boundary Commission with verifiable evidences that Odo-oba community and adjourning villages belong to lagelu local government, Oyo state and not Iwo Osun state.
Yet no concrete step had been taken to stop osun state from invading this community.
Your imperial majesty must also look into the issue of uncontrolled sales of ancestral land located within the inner city of ibadan to foreigners which has greatly eroded the identity of family compounds.
Once again Your Majesty, we congratulate you on your ascension to the throne. May you be guided by the principles of justice, equality, and mercy, and may Ibadan land flourish under your rule.
Signed
