Ladoja To Atiku, ADC Members: ‘I Am No More One Of You’
The Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rasidi Adewolu Ladoja, Arusa 1, has declared that he was no more a politician.
The monarch, who is a former governor of Oyo State, made the assertion on Tuesday during a courtesy visit paid him by former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, in compay of former governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, former Senate President, Iyorchia Ayu, and other notable personalities.
He disclosed that he has finally quit politics because he had become the Olubadan of Ibadanland.
He recalled his good times with Atiku and other politicians in the country during his time in active politics, noting that 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 a leader 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,” Olubadan told his guests.
