Indigenes of Ibadan under the auspices of Central Council of Ibadan Indigenes, on Sunday, declared that the crisis between Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde and the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja has been resolved.
CCII made this declaration in a statement by its President-General, Barrister Sulaimon Ajeniyi Ajewole.
The statement was made available on Sunday through the CCII Publicity Secretary, Kola Olomide.
There were rumours of alleged moves by Governor Makinde to dethrone the monarch.
The said dethronement move was linked to another alleged plan to impeach the governor.
