A former governor of Oyo state and the Otun Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, has said  there is nothing wrong in the rotation of chairmanship of Oyo state  Council of Obas and Chiefs among the Alaafin of Oyo, the Olubadan of Ibadanland and Soun of Ogbomosoland.

Oba Ladoja said this on Friday during a chat with journalists at his Bodija resident in Ibadan after observing this year’s the Eid El Kabir prayers.

He emphasized that the passage of the amended bill into law by members of the Oyo State House of Assembly was commendable and a welcome development.

Oba Ladoja maintained that the lawmakers had done the right thing with the passage of the bill into law going by  the historical background of the three monarchs.

The former governor noted that rather than criticizing the House on the passage of the bill, they should be commenced.

Stressing that amended bill was not new, Oba Ladoja said the bill for the rotation of Oyo state Council of Obas and Chiefs Chairmanship has been on ground since the administration of former governor Adebayo Alao-Akala.

“Those criticizing rotational chairmanship between Alaafin, Olubadan and Soun should be concerned about what will make life of our people better not a needles agitation”, he said.

Oba Ladoja added, “There is no town that can dominate Ibadan, democracy is a game of numbers, and Ibadan have a pyramid of majority.”

“Ibadan has the majority in the House of Assembly, if we are to vote for who become the permanent chairman of the Council of Oba’s and Chiefs, we will surely wins. Ibadan is the home of all. God has elevated Ibadan naturally.”
