Otun Olubadan of Ibadanland, High Chief Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja has directed his counsel to withdraw a suit filed against other members of the Olubadan-in-Council on a threat to his kingship ambition to facilitate the enthronement of Oba Owolabi Olakulehin as the 43rd Olubadan.
The former Chief Press Secretary to Ladoja, Mr. Adeola Oloko disclosed this in an exclusive telephone chat with the Saturday Tribune on Friday
He said that High Chief Ladoja is committed to the peace of Ibadanland, and thereby he is ready to do anything to ensure that peace reigns in the land.
According to him, ‘Oga has said that he will withdraw the case. He will do so. If he does not withdraw the case in the Court, Olakulehin will not be installed as the next Olubadan.
“The withdrawal of the case is very key to the installation of Olubadan.
“He has directed his lawyers to file withdrawal suit and I am sure between now and Monday the case will be withdrawn.
Ladoja is committed to the peace of Ibadanland and no sacrifice will be too much for him to pay to do so.
“Like I said, we can neither be provoked nor intimidated.
“The ball is now in the court of Governor Seyi Makinde to approve Olakulehin as the next Olubadan as nominated by the members of Olubadan in Council.
