The Central Council of Ibadan Indigenes (CCII) has confirmed that tensions between Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde and the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, have been resolved through internal dialogue. In a statement issued Sunday by Publicity Secretary Kola Olomide in Ibadan, the council said the disagreement was settled using traditional conflict-resolution mechanisms, without external intervention. CCII President-General Ajeniyi Ajewole stated that Ibadan elders and key stakeholders intervened promptly, emphasizing that the relationship between the governor and the monarch remains strong, described as akin to that of a father and son. The council dismissed claims of an impeachment plot against Makinde or plans to remove the Olubadan, attributing such reports to external forces seeking to create unrest. Former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose had earlier alleged on X that Makinde was plotting to dethrone the Olubadan, a claim rejected by both the state government and the palace. Oyo State House of Assembly Chief Whip Gbenga Oyekola also denied involvement in any impeachment move, affirming that the issue had been settled amicably. Ajewole credited Ibadan's leadership structure for maintaining peace, urging residents to remain calm and support ongoing development efforts. He acknowledged Makinde's achievements, including infrastructure projects, salary and pension payments, job creation, and improved security in Ibadan. The Olubadan was also commended for his leadership, particularly through initiatives like economic and anti–land-grabbing committees.
