Indigenes of Ibadan have announced the resolution of the crisis between Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde and the Olubadan of Ibadanland. The Central Council of Ibadan Indigenes (CCII) made the declaration in a statement signed by its President-General, Barrister Sulaimon Ajeniyi Ajewole, and issued by the organisation's Publicity Secretary, Kola Olomide. The statement confirmed that the tension, which had raised concerns among Ibadan residents, had been settled through internal consultations. The CCII did not provide details on the nature of the disagreements or the specific steps taken to resolve them. It however emphasized that the relationship between the governor and the traditional ruler was now restored. The council called on all Ibadan indigenes to maintain peace and unity following the development. No official joint appearance or public dialogue between Makinde and the Olubadan was reported in connection with the resolution.
The CCII claims the rift between Seyi Makinde and the Olubadan is resolved, yet offered no evidence of direct engagement between the two figures. If the dispute was serious enough to require intervention by the council, the absence of a public reconciliation process leaves Ibadan residents unclear about what was at stake. The lack of transparency means citizens cannot assess whether the resolution addresses their concerns or merely restores appearances. This silence risks reducing traditional and political leadership to behind-closed-doors theatre.
