Enthronement of the 43rd Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Owolabi Olakulehin, yesterday took another twist, as the Otun Olubadan and former governor of Oyo State, High Chief Rashidi Ladoja and other kingmakers differed on signing of terms of settlement to facilitate the enthronement process.
Ladoja, while hosting Mogajis in Ibadanland led by Chief Asimiyu Ariori at his Bodija home, showed readiness to withdraw the suit he filed against members of Olubadan-in-Council on condition that the two parties must signed terms of settlement as prepared.
He said: “Myself and other members of Olubadan-in-Council have been sitting together and talking. We have accepted to withdrawal the case.
“I heard that they have started signing the agreement. After all of them have signed, I will also sign my own aspect, and the next day, we will file for withdrawal of the case from court.
However, other members of Olubadan-in-Council who are defendants in the suit have argued that there is no need for signing of any terms of settlement paper, as they have already abided by the 1957 declaration.
