Makinde, Ladoja Deny Fayose's Dethronement Allegations

Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde and the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, have publicly rejected allegations made by former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose about a supposed plot to dethrone Ladoja. In a media statement, Makinde's aides described Fayose's claims as unfounded and baseless rumors. The allegations surfaced following a recent absence of Ladoja from a coronation event, which Fayose cited as a reason for the supposed plot. Makinde affirmed that there is no rift between him and Ladoja that would warrant such actions. He emphasized that the government is focused on credible actions and discussions rather than engaging in what he termed as "thoughtless propaganda." The statement reflects a commitment to maintaining democratic integrity in Oyo State amidst political tensions.
