Alaafin of Oyo Snubs Ladoja's Inauguration, Potential Power Tussle Looms

The Alaafin of Oyo, Akeem Owoade, snubbed the inauguration of Rasidi Ladoja as the chairman of the Oyo State Council, indicating a potential power struggle. Governor Seyi Makinde inaugurated Ladoja despite the absence of the Alaafin.

The council chairmanship is set to rotate among the Olubadan, Alaafin, and Soun of Ogbomosoland. Owoade's absence at the inauguration may result in a legal challenge, hinting at underlying tensions within the traditional leadership in Oyo State.
