Oba Ladoja Warns Against Involving Monarchs in Politics

Oba Rashidi Ladoja, the Olubadan of Ibadanland, issued a warning against dragging traditional monarchs into political controversies. This statement was made in response to allegations from former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose, who claimed that there was a purported plot to remove Governor Seyi Makinde.

Oba Ladoja firmly refuted these claims, labeling them as lies. He stated that as a former governor and distinguished senator, he understands that monarchs do not possess the power to impeach governors or local government chairmen.

His remarks came shortly after the allegations were made, reflecting his concern over the integrity of the monarchy and the political landscape in Oyo State. Ladoja's comments highlight the ongoing tensions in Nigerian politics and the role of traditional leaders in governance.
