The Otun Olubadan of Ibadanland, Senator Rashidi Ladoja has faulted Governor Seyi Makinde over his comments on the health status of the Olubadan-Designate, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin.
He said the Governor was wrong to have said Olakulehin will be enthroned when he is fit, saying only the town (Ibadan people) can enthrone the Olubadan not the Governor.
Makinde at the state burial ceremony for late Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Lekan Balogun, said Olakulehin will be enthroned when he is fit for the throne.
But Ladoja, a former Governor, while speaking with newsmen at his Bodija, Ibadan residence said Makinde can only present staff of office and instrument of office to the Olubadan-Designate not enthrone him.
He maintained that the role of government was just to give staff of office and instrument of office to the Olubadan-Designate.
“The Governor might have access to medical records of Olakulehin’s health or send his doctors to access his health or use artificial intelligence to do that.
“I don’t have any problem if the governor refuses to give him staff of office or instrument of office but he is not the one to enthrone him.
“Olakulehin is an aged man, we didn’t expect him to still be acting like a youth.”
