2015:Senator Rashidi Ladoja is our next Oyo state Governor , says Soun of Ogbomosoland

 Former governor of Oyo State, Senator Rashidi Ladoja, is set to make history as the Soun of Ogbomo­soland, Oba Jimoh Oyewumi Ajagung­bade III, yesterday blessed his aspiration to govern the state again.

Besides, the monarch warned politicians against reckless driving as they traverse the length and breath of the state during electioneering campaigns in order to prevent avoidable accidents.

Ogbomoso, which comprises five local government areas, is the country home of gubernatorial candidate of the Labour Party (LP) and former governor of the state, Otunba Adebayo Alao-Akala.

Ladoja, who is the governorship candidate of Accord Party (AP) in Oyo State, had paid similar visit to the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi III, on Monday. In all the places he went, he was received with drums and fanfare.

“As you are moving around, tragedy will never strike you. But you have your own part to play too. You must warn those that are following you against excessive speeding and reckless driving. It will be easy for you,” Oba Oyewumi stated.

Oba Oyewumi said he was happy to see Ladoja in his palace, praying that God would intervene in Ladoja’s desire to become governor again in the state.

“Whatever God has predestined, nobody can change it. So, it is imperative for we royal fathers to pray for you. But it is important for all people that want to occupy exalted positions such as governorship to solicit the support of monarchs.

“As you have come, another candidate will also come. We cannot rule this out. It has been like that from the time immemorial. But God knows what nobody knows,” the monarch said.
