Fayose Alleges Fresh Plot by Makinde to Remove Ladoja as Olubadan

Ayo Fayose, who used to be the governor of Ekiti State, says that Seyi Makinde, the governor of Oyo State, is still working on plans to remove Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja as the Olubadan of Ibadan.

On Tuesday, it was reported that Fayose made the new claim on his 𝕏 account.

Fayose had already said that Governor Makinde was going to get rid of Ladoja.

Fayose said this in a post on 𝕏 on Sunday, saying that the supposed move would start with official questions being asked of the monarch.

Fayose says that the supposed plan would start with the government asking the traditional ruler why he didn’t go to a recent coronation ceremony in Ibadan.

Fayose said again on Tuesday that there is still a fight going on between the Governor of Oyo State and Oba Ladoja.

The former governor said that the Olubadan is being accused of trying to impeach Makinde. He also said that the government would soon release statements accusing the Olubadan of being biased.

He said that the new events are part of Governor Makinde’s plan to make it possible for the Olubadan to be questioned for being biased.

He said, “If you still don’t believe that Governor Seyi Makinde is trying to get rid of the Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Rahidi Adewolu Ladoja, just cross your fingers and wait to see what happens.”

“Remember that they said there was no rift between Olubadan and Makinde after I made it public.

“But now they are saying that the Olubadan is trying to get Governor Makinde impeached. They are also making statements that say the Olubadan is biased.

“These are things that Makinde is doing to set the stage for the Olubadan to be asked about being partisan.”

Fayose’s latest statement comes just after Gbenga Oyekola, the Chief Whip of the Oyo State House of Assembly, denied reports that he was involved in a plan by some lawmakers to impeach Governor Seyi Makinde.

In the meantime, Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde and Olubadan of Ibadanland Rashidi Ladoja have both said that there is no plan to remove the monarch from his position.
