Ibadan Mogaji Knocks Fayose Over Attack On Makinde

The Mogaji of Akinsola Family Compound in Ibadan, Oyo State, Olawale Oladoja, has criticised former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, over his recent comments against Governor Seyi Makinde.

Naija News reports that Oladoja, in a statement on Tuesday in Ibadan, described Fayose’s remarks as a reflection of what he called an “irredeemable delusional disposition.”

He said it was unfortunate that Fayose, who often claimed to have been born in Ibadan and professed love for the city, had chosen to attack one of its prominent sons.

“Fayose claims he was born in Ibadan and that he loves Ibadan, but, sadly, he appears to hate his place of birth so much that he is attacking the pride of Ibadan, which is transforming the city into a modern metropolis,” Oladoja said.

Oladoja also warned the former governor against involving the Olubadan of Ibadanland in political disputes.

“I want to caution Governor Fayose from dragging our highly revered Olubadan into his dirty politics. Kabiyesi is a father to all, and we will not allow anyone to disparage our royal father for political reasons.

“It is unacceptable for anyone who has shown little regard for traditional institutions in his own state to attempt to bring our respected monarch into needless political controversy,” he said.

The Mogaji urged political actors to show decorum and respect for traditional institutions, adding that Ibadan people would continue to defend the dignity of the Olubadan stool.
