Governorship candidates of registered political parties and notable politicians in Oyo State at the weekend put aside their political differences to celebrate a former governor of Oyo state and High Chief of Ibadan land, Senator Rashidi Ladoja as he clocks 78.
The governorship candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Teslim Folarin, the governorship candidate of the ACCORD, Chief Bayo Adelabu, Senator AbdulFayai Buhari Faozy Nurudern were in attendance at the prayers session held in commemoration of Ladoja”s birthday celebration at his Bodija residence in Ibadan North local government area
 Others in attendance were: Chief Nureni Akanbi, the candidate of the Oyo south senatorial district on the platform of Accord, Kolapo Kola-Daisi and a host of others.
In his remarks, Senator Folarin said; “Ladoja is an enigma. Since he was a governor in 2003, he was among the leaders who installed me as a senator at that time. Since then, I have been studying his mode of operation. We are still understudying him till today.”
Also speaking, the Accord candidate, Chief Bayo Adelabu described him as a role model who was truth personified.
He said; “Baba (Ladoja) motivated me to leave my job for politics. Since he left the government, succeeding governors have been following his blueprint. He and my grandfather belonged to the same political group, NCNC. I am going to implement his blueprint when I get to the government house as governor in 2023.
Speaking on his personality, Senator Fatai Buhari, representing Oyo north on the platform of APC said; “Ladoja is the epitome of everything. He advises us as his blood children. Whenever he sees you, he opens his heart to you without reservation. I discussed with him even my personal problems. We all use his name to campaign because of the good name he made for himself.”
Leader of the PDP in the state, Nureni Akanbi said; “those parading themselves as governorship candidates are deceiving us. By the time you get to the office, you will forget about us. You won’t take advice from us again. You must learn to be truthful when you get to the office. Do not fight over who becomes the governor. It is turn by turn. When it is your turn, you will become a governor. Do not fight,” he said”
Appreciating the political associates of his father, the eldest son of the celebrant, Muideen Adedamola Ladoja said his father told him that he was going to be governor and Olubadan, urging people to pray for him to become Olubadan as he dreamt.

The president's wife stated this on Friday in Abuja at the 62nd Independence Day Special Juma'at Prayer and Public Lecture with the theme "Shura: The Islamic Foundation of True Democracy" which was held at the National Mosque Conference Hall, Abuja. According to her, the noticeable devaluation of the naira and the continuous drop in the foreign exchange rate has taken its toll on the economy which she said is responsible for the hardship and difficulties Nigerians are passing through in education, health and other day to day activities. She nonetheless commended the activities of the military in checkmating security challenges so far in the country and wish them more success. "Your Excellencies, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, as you may be aware that this government is making its exit and perhaps witnessing the last anniversary of the regime, I pray for Nigerians to pray for successful election and transition program. The regime might not have been a perfect one, but I want to seize this opportunity to seek for forgiveness from the Ulamas and Nigerians in general. We all need to work together to achieve a better Nigeria. "Your Excellencies, distinguished guests, it is also noticeable that our naira is being devaluated and the foreign exchange rate has affected our economy causing a lot of hardship and difficulties in terms of education, health and other day to day activities of our citizens. We must unite and fight against security challenges. While the efforts of the government are well appreciated, it is important to know that many programs have been put in place such as agriculture, entrepreneurship, engagement of youth and women to cushion the effects and provide alternatives. "I myself through my Aisha Buhari and Future Assured have put in place deliberate efforts and programs focused on improving the quality of women, youth and children. Through this effect, I have empowered many communities. I appreciate all my partners and collaborators, the wives of the governors, the wives of service chiefs, my associates, well wishers, international bodies, that is development partners, I thank them all. "I'm particularly happy that our security agents have stood up to the challenges of security more than ever before. And at the moment, their efforts have been pushing the effects of banditry, kidnapping and many other ills in the society. I commend the efforts of our gallant security men and women and I want to pray for more successes in their operations." 2023: Bishops who met with Tinubu are not part of PFN ― National Secretary
