The Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rasidi Adewolu Ladoja, has finally quit politics.
Naijaonpoint reports that Ladoja, a former governor of Oyo State, made this known on Tuesday during a courtesy visit paid to him by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) 2023 presidential candidate, Abubakar Atiku, the former governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, the former Senate President, Iyorcha Ayu, and other notable personalities.
While recalling his good times with Atiku and other politicians in the country, during his time in active politics, Ladoja said he has quit because of his new status.
The new Olubadan, however, promised to use his stool to promote justice and fairness throughout his reign, saying, “I am no more one of you. I am not a politician anymore. Welcome to my house.
“Now that I am the Olubadan, I am no more interested in any other things than the Olubadan. You are welcome to my house.
“We started from SDP, we were in exile together, we were in PDP together. When I wanted to create an identity, I went to Accord Party which became a household name here. I know you politicians have a way of coming back.
“All the religious leaders, they said that the only thing the leaders can do is to promote justice and fairness. I will serve my people. Ibadan people, Oyo State, Africa and the world at large. I will depend on your support and advice”.
