Ibadan socio cultural group, Ibile Club, has sued for restraint as allegation of planned impeachment of Oyo state Governor Seyi Makinde continues to spread.
The Olubadan, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, wife of ex Governor, Florence Ajimobi and the Speaker of the state House of Assembly Adebowale Ogundoyin, have all been linked with the plot.
While Oba Ladoja and Mrs Ajimobi have declared their innocence, the Speaker insisted that he was actually mobilized to impeach the Governor.
Already, attempt is being made to remove Ogundoyin as Speaker as report revealed that Legislators are being rallied to that effect.
The Ibadan Club, in a terse statement, signed by the President, Lanre Ogundipe, expressed concern that the revered throne of Olubadan is being dragged into the political issue.
“We are concerned by the rising wave of speculation, allegations, and political narratives currently dominating public discourse in Oyo State.
“Let it be clear: these are signs of frail nerves, not established facts. Serious issues of governance and finance must be addressed with evidence—not social media arithmetic or insinuation.
“More troubling is the growing attempt to drag the Olubadan of Ibadanland and the Ibadan Traditional Institution into partisan politics.
The throne must not be reduced to a political tool.
“We call on all political actors—within and outside Oyo State—to refrain from diluting facts and dragging the Olubadan institution into their desperate pursuits.
“Governance issues should be handled through proper constitutional and investigative channels—not noise and speculation. Respect the throne. Respect the facts.”
