Fayose Warns Makinde Against Dethroning Olubadan

Former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose addressed journalists in Ibadan on Tuesday, cautioning Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde regarding an alleged plot to dethrone the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rasidi Adewolu Ladoja. Fayose reminded Makinde that the tenure of the Olubadan is time-bound and determined by God, not merely by political maneuvering.

He emphasized the importance of respecting the traditional institution and warned against any actions that could undermine the monarch's position. Fayose expressed solidarity with the Olubadan and highlighted that the governor's tenure should not be used to disrupt the traditional leadership in Ibadan.

He noted that the quality of leadership in Ibadan is crucial for the community's benefit and urged Makinde to ignore distractions and focus on governance. Fayose's comments reflect ongoing tensions in Oyo State regarding traditional leadership and political authority.
