Fayose Says Oyo Assembly’s Accusations Against Olubadan Are Politically Motivated

Former Governor Ayo Fayose has dismissed allegations from the Oyo State House of Assembly that the Olubadan of Ibadanland is plotting to destabilize Governor Seyi Makinde’s administration. The claims were made by Hon. Gbenga Oyekola, Chief Whip of the assembly. He said some agents are trying to set the legislature against the governor. He alleged that Speaker Adebo Ogundoyin sought the Olubadan’s support for a governorship bid and was offered funds and a party ticket, which he declined. Other assembly members moved to distance themselves from these remarks. They emphasised that the statement does not represent the House’s official position. They reaffirmed their commitment to stability in the state. Fayose calls the accusations a deliberate strategy to discredit Oba Rahidi Adewolu Ladoja. He noted that earlier denials of any rift have now been contradicted. The Olubadan has not yet responded publicly to these allegations.
