Breaking: Ibadan Obas drop Crown



The new 21 obas in Ibadan land reportedly dropped their crowns to surrender to the Olubadan of Ibadan land, Oba Saliu Adetunji.
They appeared as part of the entourage of the monarch to the ongoing Southwest security summit at the International Conference Centre, University of Ibadan on Monday, - TheNation .




The joint public appearance came 2 years after they went their separate ways following the crowing of members of the Olubadan-In-Council in 2017 by the immediate past Governor Abiola Ajimobi.
The new obas had boycotted the palace since their crowning due to the Olubadan’s opposition to their elevation by the governor.



The monarch argued that the State Government has no right to independently elevate his chiefs.
Though both parties indicated willingness to reconcile while the crisis lasted, the Olubadan insisted that the only condition for reconciliation was for the new obas to drop their crowns and wait for their time to ascend the throne of the Olubadan in line with the custom.


Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde commended the reconciliation between the Olubadan of Ibadan Oba Saliu Adetunji and his high chiefs.


He gave the commendation during his welcome speech at the ongoing South West security meeting at the International Conference Centre, University of Ibadan.


Sighting the high chiefs without their crowns in their attendance with the Olubadan, Makinde said: “In the entourage of the Olubadan, I can see the high chiefs.
” I think it is a positive development in Oyo State. We are talking about security here; and I think it is part of what will help overall security of the society.”Gossip - Who Which What Where When How #jaiyeorie 📎 ... CRITIC ALSO 🖋️ spill TEA ☕ Easy on Shade 💣 🖋️ 📜 COMMENT BELOW
