The Osi-Olubadan of Ibadanland, High Chief Rashidi Ladoja, has paid a visit to the palace of the new Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Lekan Balogun after coronation.
According to reports, Ladoja’s visit to the Olubadan lasted for about 30 minutes.
Recall that Ladoja, a former governor of Oyo state, was not available for the first Ibadan-in-Council meeting which the Olubadan himself presided over.
It was gathered that the high chief visited to pay homage to the traditional ruler, upon his ancension to the throne of his fathers.
Meanwhile, the former governor has dismissed the rumoured rift between him and the new Olubadan, describing it as the figment of the imagination of those peddling it.
Ladoja was said to have recalled how he flatly prostrated for Oba Balogun during his coronation on March 11 as a mark of his absolute loyalty and reverence to his person and the throne.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that two other members of the Olubadan-in-Council, High Chiefs Owolabi Olakulehin and Gbadamosi Adebimpe also joined the meeting, with the Ekarun Olubadan, Chief Hamidu Ajibade, also in attendance.
