21 IBADAN KINGS MOVE TO DETHRONE OLUBADAN

Four months after, the 21 newly installed kings in Ibadan Oyo state capital have issued a dethronement notice to the Olubadan of Ibadan land, Oba Saliu Adetunji following the fall out and power tussle in the Ibadan traditional ruling council.

Inside Sources gathered that power tussle started when the Oyo state governor Senator Abiola Ajimobi raised 21 Baale’s in Ibadan land to the status of a King and also proceeded to crown them as kings in their respective communities following the report of the Justice Boade panel set up by governor to review the Olubadan Chieftaincy Declaration.

The 21 kings led by Oba Lekan Balogun at their Monday press conference at Mapo Hall, Ibadan accused the monarch of taking unilateral decisions on behalf of the Olubadan Kings in-Council and inciting the people against the state government.

Meanwhile the Director of media and public affairs to Olubadan Adeola Oloko, told journalists that the palace had yet to receive any notice and that the monarch would communicate to the public at the appropriate time.
