Governor ‘Seyi Makinde of Oyo on Tuesday, put to rest the controversy trailing the ascension to the throne of Olubadan, directing that the traditional institution must revert to its original concept.
Governor Makinde made this known during his official condolence visit to the family of the late monarch, Oba Saliu Adetunji, at his Popoyemoja palace.
Makinde said: “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.”
