Farmer Omolara Busari Svensson, Convener of Women and Youth in Politics Sensitization and Special Adviser to the Honourable Minister of State for Agriculture on Women and Youth for Agricultural Innovation, has congratulated the Olubadan of Ibadanland, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja, Arusa I, on his emergence as the Chairman of the Oyo State Council of Obas and Chiefs.
Farmer Svensson described the emergence of the Olubadan as a well-deserved honour, noting that it is a clear recognition of his wealth of experience, wisdom, statesmanship, and deep commitment to peace, unity, and development not only in Ibadanland but across Oyo State.
She commended Governor Seyi Makinde for the historic re-inauguration of the Oyo State Council of Obas and Chiefs and the decision to make the chairmanship rotational, starting with the Olubadan of Ibadanland.
According to her, the move reflects inclusiveness, respect for tradition, and purposeful leadership.
Farmer Svensson expressed confidence that under the chairmanship of Oba Rashidi Ladoja, the Council would play a vital role in promoting peace, strengthening traditional institutions, preserving cultural heritage, and supporting good governance across the state.
She offered prayers for the monarch, asking God to grant him good health, uncommon wisdom, longevity, and divine guidance as he leads the Council.
She also prayed that his reign as the Olubadan of Ibadanland would continue to be fruitful, impactful, and marked by progress and harmony.
“May Kabiyesi’s tenure as Chairman of the Oyo State Council of Obas and Chiefs usher in a new era of unity, development, and peaceful coexistence in our dear state.
May his throne continue to know peace, honour, and lasting legacy,” she concluded.
