“FAYOSE’S DETHRONEMENT CLAIMS SPARK OUTRAGE: MAKINDE AND LADOJA CRY FOUL”
GREATRIBUNETVNEWS-FORMER Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose’s claims of a plot to dethrone Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, have been slammed by Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde and Ladoja himself.
Key Issues:
– _”The plot is to commence this week, with a government query to be issued against the Olubadan.”_ – Ayodele Fayose
– Unfounded Claims: Makinde and Ladoja’s aides describe Fayose’s allegations as baseless and unfounded.
– _”It will be most unfortunate if it is not a rumour.”_ – Adeola Oloko, Ladoja’s media aide
– No Rift: Makinde and Ladoja’s teams stress there’s no friction between the governor and Olubadan to warrant such moves.
– Fayose’s claims follow Ladoja’s absence at a recent coronation of High Chiefs in Ibadanland.
Similarly, the state Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Dotun Oyelade, stated that the government had never contemplated, discussed, or planned such an action.
He said, “By now, Nigerians know who and what to believe, especially when the information comes from a particular quarter.
“Oyo State Government has never contemplated, discussed, or planned such an action.
“There has to be a credible motive for every government action, and this, coming from the unofficial spokesman of our opponents, is better put in the refuse dump where it belongs.
“Desperate politics foists thoughtless propaganda and reduces democracy into a joke.”
