21 New Ibadan Kings Threaten To Dethrone ‎Olubadan, Issue 21-Day Deadline

Oluwadrizzy


The 21 new Ibadan kings, installed by the Oyo State Governor Abiola Ajimobi on August 27, 2017, have issued a dethronement notice to the Olubadan of Ibadan land, Oba Saliu Adetunji.


Trouble had started in the state after their installation was rejected by the Olubadan, who threatened to pursue the matter in court.
The new kings and some Baales were, however, crowned by the Oyo government following the recommendation made by a panel set up to review the Olubadan Chieftaincy Declaration.
At a press conference addressed by the 21 kings at Mapo Hall, Ibadan on Monday, leader of the group, Oba Lekan Balogun, who is also the Otun Olubadan of Ibadanland, accused the monarch of taking unilateral decisions on behalf of the ‘Olubadan-Kings-in-Council’ and inciting the people against the state government.
They also accused the Olubadan’s wives of embarrassing the palace through their excesses and alleged misleading the monarch on many issues.

The council members also accused the Olubadan of inciting people against Governor Abiola Ajimobi, who undertook the review, which made him an Imperial Majesty.

Failure to do so, the entire Ibadan Council of Obas will pass a vote of no confidence in the Imperial Majesty, Oba Saliu Adetunji, and declare him persona non-grata, and the government will have no other choice than to move for appropriate action.
“You need to know that we the then Olubadan-In-Council nominated and appointed him and presented the said Kabiyesi Adetunji to the government of Oyo State for inauguration and approval or confirmation as the Olubadan of Ibadan, knowing well that under the law, anybody from the position of Ekerin is qualified for the position of the Olubadan.
“The obaship of the Olubadan did not start from Oba Saliu and it will not end in his palace…”
The Olubadan Palace has, however, not

News : Dele Momodu Responds To Davido Tantrums, “ I am your Father ” | Core Newsman, Dele Momodu says it would be childish of him to respond to the Tantrums of singer, Davido. The veteran journalist and the HKN singer clashed a few months ago over the custody of the latter’s baby, whom the former is an uncle to. While the rift has been settled, Davido has continued to take subtle swipes at Momodu. In an interview with Joy TV Ghana, Momodu says he’s unperturbed about the singer’s tantrums. “I have never responded to any of Davido’s comments, this is the first time I would do that.” “After ‘Osinachi remix’ video, I called his father… Success is a very tough thing to manage, and your fans can mislead you sometimes.” “I know that what he is doing is what most artists do all over the world, to sell their record, so you have to create controversy. I don’t think David will see me face-to-face and say I’m his boy. I’m his father.” “Even the video. That’s what is selli...

The talented singer was one of the performers at the Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards yesterday, who gave such a breathtaking one as she sang this time and not lip synced.

Binta was forced to delete her tweet and apologize after Simi and her fans came for her. Follow the thread below:
