The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council for President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election visits traditional rulers in Oyo State to seek their blessings. Multiple outlets report that the council pays a courtesy call to the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, and also seeks the blessing of the Alaafin of Oyo.
The Nigerian Eye describes the Olubadan visit as taking place at the Olubadan’s palace in Oke-Aremo, Ibadan, and says the delegation includes the council’s Director-General, former Zamfara State Governor Abubakar Yari. It adds that prominent APC figures and supporters attend, along with members of the Olubadan-in-Council and representatives of market women, including the Iyaloja of Ibadanland, Saratu Konibaje.
The Punch similarly focuses on the campaign council’s outreach to both the Olubadan and the Alaafin, framing it as a bid to obtain royal endorsement ahead of the election. While the outlets differ slightly in how much detail they provide about attendees and local participants, they consistently describe the same core activity: seeking traditional blessings in Ibadan and Oyo.
