Yoruba nation activist Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has warned that any governor who attempts to remove the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja, would face strong resistance.
In a statement circulating online, Igboho reportedly vowed to disrupt activities across the state if any attempt was made to dethrone the monarch, warning that the situation could escalate into a state of emergency in Oyo State.
“No one should dare to attack the Olubadan,” he was quoted as saying.
The remarks come amid earlier controversy in April 2026, when former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose alleged that Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde was planning to remove the monarch. However, the Oyo State Government dismissed the allegation as false, while the Olubadan’s media aide also denied any rift between the monarch and the governor.
