The former Governor of Oyo state and Otun Olubadan of Ibadan, Chief Rashidi Ladoja has dragged the Oyo state Governor, Seyi Makinde; the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Lekan Balogun, and his ten newly elevated beaded crown-wearing Obas to court over the chieftaincy title.
The former Governor dragged them to Oyo State High Court, Ring Road, Ibadan last Thursday.
It would be recalled that on Thursday, June 22, Seyi Makinde approved the elevation of the Ibadan High Chiefs following the recommendation of Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Lekan Balogun, who is the prescribed and consenting authority.
The governor who last Friday presented the Staff of Office to the new Obas, said that it was the decision of Olubadan that he followed.
Ladoja was absent when Olubadan of Ibadanland crowned the new Obas.
Those who were crowned are: Owolabi Olakulehin; Tajudeen Ajibola; Eddy Oyewole; Lateef Adebimpe; Biodun Kola-Daisi; Kola Adegbola; Hamidu Ajibade; Olubunmi Isioye; Bayo Akande and Abiodun Azeez.
