The Otun Olubadan of Ibadanland and former Oyo State governor, Senator Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja has accused Ibadan High Chiefs of begging Governor Seyi Makinde
Ladoja who clarified the planned coronation of the chiefs on July 7 with newsmen at his Ondo Street residence, Bodija on Sallah day, said it was a rumour making the rounds that he and other Ibadan High Chiefs would be crowned as Obas by the governor.
He said initially he had no crown before, hence, he could not be part of High Chiefs seeking approval to return to their former ‘artificial’ crowns. Otun Olubadan maintained that it was rumour that Governor Makinde wanted to crown them on 7th July, 2023, as there was no evidence to that effect, noting that the evidence available to him was that the other High Chiefs themselves wrote the Governor begging him to allow them to start using their crowns, which were given to them by the former late Governor Abiola Ajimobi.
