LADOJA lines up toward the rear. Nevertheless, a revision to Section 4 of the 1957 Olubadan Chieftaincy Declaration, published in a gazette by the Oyo State Government and signed by Governor Seyi Makinde as of 2023, required the Olubadan king candidate to wear beads. "The person who may be proposed as a candidate by the Line whose turn it is to fill a vacancy in the office of the Olubadan shall be the most Senior Beaded Crown Oba in that line," reads Section 4 of the new Gazette.

Speaking, Ladoja claimed that both Ibadan and non-Ibadan people had pressured him to agree to wear beads as a monarch to clear the path for his eventual ascent to the throne. "With God's grace, I shall become Olubadan. God has shown me mercy. My blood pressure has remained consistent. Anybody who is meant by God to be Olubadan will indeed become Olubadan. No matter how many barriers they place in the way if God wills someone to become an Olubadan, he will. "I will do what the people of Ibadan desire."

God is the one who determines everything. several people have assumed the identity of Balogun but did not become Olubadan, and several others have assumed the identity of Otun Olubadan but did not become Olubadan. Kuye and Omiyale passed away 10 days apart. "The people's voice is God's voice, even though this is a difficult decision. The people desire that, Ladoja remarked in Yoruba.
