Allegations of a Targeted Dethronement Plot

The political atmosphere in Oyo State has intensified following grave allegations made by former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose regarding the status of the Olubadan throne. Fayose took to social media to claim that Governor Seyi Makinde is currently overseeing a coordinated effort to remove Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja from his position. According to the PDP chieftain, the public is being urged to watch unfolding events closely, as he believes the administrative actions currently being directed at the monarch are not isolated incidents but parts of a broader strategic removal plan.

Administrative Queries as Tactical Precursors

Fayose pointed to specific bureaucratic maneuvers as evidence of the alleged plot, most notably a government query issued to the Olubadan over his absence at a recent coronation event. The former governor argued that these queries are being used to build a formal case of misconduct or neglect against the monarch. By creating a documented trail of administrative friction, the state government is allegedly laying the groundwork for a more aggressive move against the traditional ruler under the guise of maintaining official protocol and order.

Accusations of Partisanship and Impeachment Rumors

Further complicating the relationship between the state executive and the traditional stool are allegations that the Olubadan has become overly partisan. Fayose noted that the governor’s circle has begun releasing statements accusing Oba Ladoja of being involved in a plot to impeach Governor Makinde. These accusations, described by Fayose as "orchestrations," are seen as attempts to label the monarch as an "Omoluwabi" who is failing to provide genuine advice, thereby damaging his public standing and making a potential dethronement more palatable to the citizenry.
