A former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has alleged that the Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, is plotting the removal of the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja.
Fayose, who made the claim in a statement, said he had it on reliable authority that the process to remove the monarch could begin as early as this week.
According to him, the planned move would involve issuing a government query against the Olubadan, citing his absence at the recent coronation of High Chiefs in Ibadanland, which reportedly failed to hold as expected.
He further alleged that other unspecified allegations may also be brought against the traditional ruler as part of the process.
“I heard reliably that Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State is plotting the removal of the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rahidi Adewolu Ladoja.
“The plot is to commence this week, with Government Query to be issued against the Olubadan, citing his absence at the failed coronation of High Chiefs in Ibadanland two weeks ago, and other allegations,” Fayose wrote.
As of the time of filing this report, the Oyo State Government had not issued an official response to the claims.
