“All Matters Resolved” – Ex-Gov Ladoja Speaks On Next Olubadan
has been evasive before now.
Former Governor of Oyo State, RasidiLadoja has finally made a categorical statement on who becomes the next Olubadan.
The former Governor who is a major stakeholder as the Osi Olubadan has been evasive before now.
But on Saturday, January 15, 2022, after a closed-door meeting of the Olubadan-in-council with Governor Seyi Makinde in attendance, Ladoja asserted
“All the matters causing the crisis in Ibadanland have been resolved. The governor has been magnanimous to have called this meeting because those of us who thought we won’t meet again have finally met and resolved all the matters. So, I can tell you that, by next week, you won’t notice any tension in Ibadan again.
“The resolution is simple and the only contention was the objection by Barrister Lana on the court case and it has been resolved. None of us argued that the Otun Olubadan, Senator Balogun, is not the next Olubadan. All of us have agreed on that position because that is our hierarchy.
“Before the resolution could be announced, we have our procedure. The Olubadan-in-Council will meet and we will present the candidate to the governor for assent.
“Now, we are very happy that we have resolved the problem and we are all grateful to the governor.”
