The Central Council of Ibadan Indigenes (CCII) has confirmed that the reported disagreement between Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, and the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, has been amicably resolved, effectively restoring calm across the ancient city.

In a statement issued on Sunday by its President-General, Sulaimon Ajeniyi Ajewole, and communicated through the Publicity Secretary, Kola Olomide, the council disclosed that tensions between the political and traditional leadership had been successfully de-escalated through dialogue and established conflict-resolution mechanisms.

The CCII emphasized that the situation never posed a real threat to the stability of the state, dismissing widespread speculations of an impending constitutional crisis, including alleged plots to impeach Governor Makinde or dethrone the Olubadan.

According to the council, such narratives were unfounded and driven by external forces seeking to create unnecessary tension within Ibadanland.

“The issues between Governor Makinde and the Olubadan have been resolved amicably, and the external forces that attempted to create a crisis around the situation have been defeated. Nobody is planning to impeach Governor Makinde, and nobody is also planning to remove the Olubadan from his throne,” the statement read.

Reaffirming its position, the CCII noted that both the traditional institution and the political leadership structure in Ibadan remain strong and intact. It urged residents and stakeholders to disregard rumours capable of undermining the peace and unity of the city.

The council further stressed that sustained collaboration between government authorities and traditional rulers remains a critical pillar for development, stability, and progress in Ibadanland.

The resolution is expected to reinforce confidence in the state’s leadership framework and prevent any disruption to governance or community harmony.
