Ajimobi Makes A U-turn, Okays Ladoja, Others’ Promotion!!! by shegman222: 9:26am On Jan 06, 2016 |
The Ibadan Elders Forum on Tuesday
mediated in the crisis between the Oyo
State Governor, Abiola Ajimobi, and the
Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Samuel Odulana, over
the elevation of Senator
Lekan Balogun, a former governor of the
state, Rashidi Ladoja, and seven other
Ibadan high chiefs.The IEF held a
meeting at the house of its Chairman,
Ambassador Olusola Saanu, on Tuesday evening at
the end of which the matter
was settled.At the end of the meeting,
which was attended by Dr. Lekan Are,
High Chief Adebayo Akande, and Ashipa
Olubadan, Chief Eddy Oyewole, the
governor saidthe matter had been resolved.Ajimobi
added that the elevated
high chiefs could retain their present
status while the papers would be
perfected to reflect due process.“ We
should thank God for the elders. Our
elders are committed to peace in Ibadanland and
our king has shown that
he is a good monarch. He contributed to
my success as governor. “In this case,
brothers are fighting and elders have
intervened. There is no cause for further
misunderstandin g. We will perfect the papers
because the
issue has been resolved by men of
impeccable character. Due process will
now take place. Sometimes, we get
married before perfecting a marriage
ceremony,” the governor told newsmen after the
meeting. Others at the meeting
included the Olubadan’s son, Prof. Femi
Lana, and the Otun Olubadan, Senator
Lekan Balogun.It will be recalled that the
high chiefs had been elevated by the
monarch but the state government described the
action as illegal because it
did not go through due process.The state
government said the action was carried
out by the Olubadan despite its directive
that the high chiefs should submit their
medical certificates of fitness before the monarch
could elevate them.The matter
reached a crisis point on Monday when
the governor issued a 48-hour ultimatum
to the organisers of the elevation
ceremony to reverse it and maintain the
former status of the affected high chiefs. A source
who preferred anonymity had
told our correspondent earlier on
Tuesday that contrary to the insinuation
that politics was beneath the whole
issue, the government was only
concerned that its directive was set aside before the
elevation.

Politics is everywhere.... Even in the immediate family... A day is coming when all these traditional heads will turn to a Mayor position handpicked by the incumbent government. |

When this government is saddled with d responsibility of governance where it has failed woefully by making oyo state d dirtiest in Nigeria, school drop-outs at alarming rate and health sector begging for attention. The governor is busy meddling in d affairs of Traditional council leaving its primary responsibilities begging for actions. WHEN WILL OYO GOVT WAKE UP FROM SLUMBER |
