Senator Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja is a former governor of Oyo State. He hosted journalists at his Ibadan Ondo street residence where he remarked that most of
the issues President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is acting upon now had been discussed with his predecessor, Muhamadu Buhari but he turned a deaf ear. DAILY POST correspondent in Oyo state, Musliudeen Adebayo was at Ladoja’s residence when the Otun Olubadan of Ibadan land remarked that his ambition is to become Olubadan of Ibadan land. Excerpts.
Yes, I am in support of the decisions made so far. All of us know there is the need for us to adjust and rejig Nigeria. It is even not a question of palliatives now. It is a question of how do we re-distribute wealth. So, it is not about giving five million people N5,000 each. The President promised to give a living wage to workers. This means he knows the workers are not earning a living wage. I am sure he knows what he is doing and by the grace of God, we will get there.
There was a news item recently that you and 10 others are going to be promoted to crown-wearing obas from your current positions as High Chiefs… Now, I am in Ibadan, South-East. You can see that I have covered five councils out of 11. We are supposed to be assisting the Olubadan. Look at Lagos, everybody knows that the white cap chiefs are superior to some obas in Lagos. So, it is not unique to Ibadan.
This means they fixed the date themselves and asked the governor to give them permission to be using their crowns. He did not say the governor would come and crown them. They had crowns from the days of Abiola Ajimobi and it was not the governor who took away their crowns. They willingly left the crowns. I have not read anything from government circles from what I have been reading so far. It is all speculation.
