…Promotes 10 chiefs to higher status

Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja (Arusa1) has promoted ten Ibadan traditional chiefs to higher ranks in the Otun Chieftaincy Line in Ibadanland with a charge that they should abstain from land grabbing and other criminal activity that can tarnish the throne of Olubadan of Ibadanland.

The promotion exercise took place at the Banquet Hall of the Olubadan Palace, Oke Aremo, Ibadan on Friday

In his message to the newly elevated Chiefs, Oba Ladoja admonished them to see their elevation as a call for more responsibilities to Ibadanland, for whom more is given, more is expected.

Furthermore, the paramount ruler charged the newly promoted rulers to always think of what they can do to move Ibadanland forward in the areas of peace maintenance, love, unity, economic emancipation, security, religious harmony, food sufficiency, abstinence from land grabbing and other criminal activities that can tarnish the throne of Olubadan of Ibadanland.

The Olubadan messages were contained in the press release issued and signed by Ayoade Solomon Olugbemiga, the Chief Press Secretary to Olubadan of Ibadanland, shortly after the elevation exercise.

In his interview shortly after the elevation program, the newly promoted Ikolaba Olubadan of Ibadanland, Dauda Kolawole Gbadamosi, assured Oba Ladoja and the Olubadan – In – Council that the promotion of the new Chiefs will not be taken for granted but instead will join hands with Oba Ladoja and the members of Olubadan-In-Council to take Ibadanland to a greater height
