The Mogajis declared that any attempt to do so will lead to the Governor’s removal unceremoniously.

They insisted that if Ajimobi dared to depose the monarch, all families in the ancient city would rise to remove the Governor.

The Mogajis while reacting to some statements credited to the governor where he said he had power to remove the monarch, noted that they cannot fold their arms and allow miscreants turn the state to war theatre.

Spokespersons of the Authentic Mogajis in a statement signed by Chief Olawale Oladoja Akinsola (Mogaji Akinsola Compound, Opopo Labiran) and Chief Abbas Oloko (Mogaji Oloko Compound, Kobomoje) remarked that the utterances of governor Ajimobi against Olubadan is becoming “unbearable for the true sons and daughters of Ibadanland”.

They noted that Ajimobi had uttered derogatory statements against the monarch more than three times in recent time.

Among the derogatory statements quoted by the family heads included; “When governor Ajimobi said Olubadan’s wife was his errand girl in the past, disclosure of the amount he spent on the Olubadan coronation and lastly saying he can dethrone the monarch”.

The Authentic Mogajis in the statement said “Yes our amiable governor Ajimobi of Oyo state has executive power to suspend or remove Olubadan of Ibadan land Oba Saliu Adetunji.

“But he shouldn’t forget that we the people of the state also have the power to call for his removal through the House of Assembly.

“We are all from Ibadan land and if you suspend our king you will be removed from office unceremoniously
