Ladoja's nomination occurred today, Monday, August 4, 2025, during a Council meeting held at the New Palace, Oke-Aremo, Ibadan.
Although Oba Ladoja was not present, all the beaded crown High Chiefs attended the meeting.
The motion for Ladoja's nomination was moved by the Balogun of Ibadanland, Oba Tajudeen Ajibola, and seconded by the Osi Olubadan, Oba Eddy Oyewole.
At the meeting, Oba Ajibola stated that Ladoja's name would be forwarded to the state governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde, for approval.
