President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has lauded the determination and perseverance of former governor of Oyo State, Oba Rasidi Adewolu Ladoja despite the challenges he faced, noting it has all paid off.
Tinubu noted this during the coronation of Ladoja as the 44th Olubadan of Ibadanland on Friday.
The president said Ladoja had faced many challenges as governor which led to his removal, adding that he was happy that the former governor was reinstated.
“Let me salute the lucky Imperial Majesty, Oba Rasidi Adewolu Ladoja Arusa 1st. And all other traditional rulers.
“Today is an important occasion. I am happy to witness the history and your coronation. It is a great honor and moment of history that you ascend the throne of your forebears. It is my honor.
“I take this opportunity to salute former governors, Donald Duke, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, Gbenga Daniel. This moment is not for long speeches. To many of you here present today, I am honored.
“There is a bright light at the end of the tunnel”.
