Former Governor of Ekiti Stat, Ayodele Fayose, has refused to back down over his claim that the administration of Governor Seyi makinde of Oyo state is planning to depose the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rasidi Ladoja.
The former governor had last week claimed that the state government is planning to issue the monarch a query this week to prepare grounds for his eventual removal from the Olubadan stool, citing some rift between the governor and the monarch.
Governor Makinde and the traditional ruler had, in separate statements denied any frosty relationship exist between them, describing Fayose’s claims false with the intent to destabilize the state.
Reiterating his earlier claim in a post on X on Tuesday, the former Ekiti helmsman said more evidence has emerged that the plot is in the offing, citing the alleged involvement of the traditional ruler in the plot to impeach Governor Makinde.
Fayose said this allegation against the city’s monarch is in preparation to dethrone him. He accused the state government of orchestrating the allegation with the aim of removing Oba Ladoja from the throne of his forebears.
“Those who are still in doubt, Governor Seyi Makinde’s plot to remove the Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Rahidi Adewolu Ladoja, should just keep their fingers crossed and follow unfolding events,” he said.
“They denied any rift between Olubadan and Makinde after my making same public. But now, they are accusing the Olubadan of plotting to impeach Governor Makinde,” the aim is to find reason to dethrone him, the former governor said.
The magazine reports that Oba Ladoja was fingered by some lawmakers in the state House of Assembly over the the alleged plot to impeach Governor Makinde.
The traditional ruler was said to have had a meeting with the Speaker of the Assembly, Debo Ogundoyin on how to carry out the plot.
The magazine has yet to verify the facts regarding the issue.
