Olubadan: I’ll sue Ajimobi for installing Adetunji, Oyediji vows



FOLLOWING the installation of His Imperial Majesty, Oba Saliu Adetunji, as the 41st Olubadan of Ibadan on February 12, 2016, the Seriki line in Ibadan has concluded arrangement to sue the governor of Oyo State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi and the Attorney-General of the state.
Chief Oyediji made this known while speaking with journalists in Ibadan, in commemoration of the 40th anniversary of his installation as the Ekefa Seriki on May 10, 1976 by the Sole Administrator of the Ibadan City Council, J.A. Akinbami.
Chief Oyediji, in his reference to an appointment document entitled: “Chieftaincy Appointment: Chiefs Law Cap 19 from the then Olubadan, Oba Giada most Akanbi Adebimpe 1, letter dated May 20, 1976, was promoted from “Mogaji Ile Eshubiyi to Ekefa Seriki with effect from May 10, 1976.”
He alleged a gang-up by some people in Ibadan to deny him the Olubadan chieftaincy title, noting that he remains the most senior Chief in Ibadanland.
Chief Oyediji described the installation of Oba Saliu Adetunji as “illegal and unjust,” and vowed that he will not relent in his plan until Governor Ajimobi reverses the installation of Oba Adetunji as the new Olubadan.
 According to him, “I remain the most senior chief in Ibadanland and ought to be installed as the new Olubadan.
“I am the first to be installed as a traditional member in Ibadan and I have been playing my role for the development of Ibadan since I became a chief. I am not a violent person but I’m just concerned about the peace and progress of Ibadanland.
 “After we have taken the Olubadan-in-council to court to stop the promotion of any chief and obtain a court injunction to that effect, some people still ganged up against my installation as the new Olubadan and went ahead to install Chief Adetunji, who joined me on the line as a chief as the new Olubadan.
 “We also wrote the governor and the Attorney-General of the state not to install anybody as the Olubadan but should follow the court order but the governor did not reply us and instead went ahead to install a new Olubadan.
 “I have obtained the directive of members on Seriki line to sue the governor and the Attorney-General of the state over the installation. We shall not be violent about it but we want justice done and we shall follow the rule of law to the letter.
 “As a man of peace who abhors violence, I will continue to explore all legal means to ensure that Governor Ajimobi reverses the installation of Adetunji because I am the one to have been installed as the 41st Olubadan,” Chief Oyediji said.
