With joy and pride, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to my King, my father, the true son of the soil, the visionary entrepreneur, and a leader of many parts — His Imperial Majesty, Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja, The Arusa I, Olubadan of Ibadanland.
Kabiyesi, you have always been an inspiration, a mentor, and a great leader whose wisdom and guidance continue to shape lives across generations. Your ascension to the exalted throne is not only a blessing to Ibadanland but also to the Yoruba race and Nigeria at large.
On behalf of my humble self, Queen Dr. Sayidatu Olubunmi Ajibade Hassan (popularly known as Mama Miliki) publisher of Authentic International Magazine, which celebrates excellence and iconic personalities and Founder of the Authentic Queen Ladies Club of Nigeria — a prestigious club that unites elegant, accomplished women from diverse sectors.
I felicitate with all sons and daughters of Ibadanland, both at home and in the diaspora, on this historic occasion.
As a proud daughter of Ibadan, with my roots deeply tied to the Aboderin and Gbolarumi families of Olugbesan’s compound, I pray for Kabiyesi’s long life, sound health, and divine wisdom to reign in peace and prosperity.
May your reign bring unity, progress, and blessings to Ibadanland. Long live the Olubadan!
