Makinde orders Ibadan traditional institution to revert to original concept

Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde has yesterday said that Ibadan traditional institution must revert to its original concept.

This follows the controversy trailing the succession plan to the Olubadan throne.

The governor said this is the last time there will be controversy regarding who should be installed as the Olubadan.

Makinde promised to uphold the stand point of the late Olubadan, Oba Saliu Adetunji, on the review of the chieftaincy laws as carried out by the former administration.

It is in the public domain that the late Oba Adetunji publicly expressed dissatisfaction at the review when it was proposed and executed by the late ex-governor Abiola Ajimobi administration.

The governor spoke when he paid a condolence visit to the wife and family of the late Olubadan, Olori Rashidat Adetunji, at the Popoyemoja Palace, Ibadan.

Makinde hailed the late Olubadan for his forthrightness and for standing to speak truth to power during his reign, noting that history would not forget him.
