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

Makinde gave the directive on Tuesday when he paid a condolence visit to the family of late Olubadan of Ibadanland, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Saliu Adetunji, Ajeoguguniso 1 who joined his ancestors on January 2, 2022 at the age of 93.

Makinde was quoted as saying, “This is the last time such controversy on who will succeed any late Olubadan and who is not ripe for the throne will ever surface.”

”And as a government, I am giving you the assurance to all indigenes and residents of Ibadan that what our late monarch stood for in his lifetime is what I will enforce.”

“Whoever is willing can key into it, I know baba is watching us and he will give us support to do what is right and acceptable to preserve the integrity and the sanctity of Ibadan Traditional Institution.”
