A former governor of Ekiti State, Peter Ayodele Fayose has alleged that the Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, is plotting the removal of Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja the Olubadan of Ibadan
Fayose posted this allegation on his X handle Tuesday morning stating though the government has denied the existence of rift between the governor and monarch, the plot for the traditional leader is ongoing.
“Those who are still in doubt Governor Seyi Makinde’s plot to remove the Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja, should just keep their fingers crossed and follow unfolding events.
“Recall that they denied any rift between Olubadan and Makinde after my making same public,” Fayose wrote.
He further alleged that the governor’s camp will accuse the king of being partisan and plotting the governor’s impeachment so as to justify the Monarch’s removal.
“But now, they are accusing the Olubadan of plotting to impeach Governor Makinde. They are also releasing statements accusing the Olubadan of being partisan.
“These are parts of the orchestration by Makinde to prepare grounds for the Olubadan to be queried for being partisan,” he stated.
Oba Ladoja was officially crowned the 44th Olubadan of Ibadan on September 26 2026 in a ceremony that attracted dignitaries from around the country including President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. He has previously served two terms as governor of the state and a senator during the short-lived third republic.
