Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has restated his earlier allegation that Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, is plotting to dethrone the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja.

Governor Makinde, the Olubadan, and the Central Council of Ibadan Indigenes (CCII) had all dismissed the claim, describing it as unfounded and baseless.

However, in a fresh post on his X handle on Tuesday, Fayose maintained his position, insisting that recent developments in the state appeared to validate his earlier assertions.

He said, "Those who are still in doubt about Governor Seyi Makinde’s plot to remove the Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja, should just keep their fingers crossed and follow unfolding events.

"Recall that they denied any rift between the Olubadan and Makinde after I made it public.

“But now, they are accusing the Olubadan of plotting to impeach Governor Makinde. They are also releasing statements accusing the Olubadan of being partisan.

These are part of the orchestration by Makinde to prepare the ground for the Olubadan to be queried for being partisan,” Fayose wrote.
