The Central Council of Ibadan Indigenes (CCII) has announced the resolution of the crisis between Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde and the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja. The declaration was made in a statement signed by the group's President-General, Barrister Sulaimon Ajeniyi Ajewole, and issued on Sunday. The CCII described the resolution as a significant achievement in restoring peace and unity in Ibadanland. The group credited the outcome to sustained dialogue and the collective interest of Ibadan indigenes in maintaining stability. No details were provided on the nature of the disagreements or the specific steps taken to resolve them.
Oba Rashidi Ladoja, who previously served as governor of Oyo State between 2003 and 2006, had been publicly at odds with the current governor, Seyi Makinde, in recent months. The tension had raised concerns among residents and traditional stakeholders in Ibadan. The CCII emphasized that both parties have accepted the resolution and called on the people of Ibadan to support the renewed peace. The group urged all parties to refrain from actions that could reignite the conflict. The statement was issued through the Publicity Secretary of the council, though the secretary's name was not disclosed.
The CCII claims to have resolved a rift between Governor Makinde and the Olubadan, yet offers no specifics on what the conflict was or how it was settled. If the disagreement was serious enough to worry Ibadan residents, the lack of transparency leaves them in the dark about what was at stake. The people of Ibadan deserve clarity, not vague declarations wrapped in tradition and silence.
