The Olubadan of Ibadan land, Oba Saliu Adetunji, on Sunday said that the chieftaincy review done by the Oyo State Governor, Abiola Ajimobi, was reversible.
A statement signed by the monarch's Director, Media and Public Affairs, Adeola Oloko, said Olubadan's statement, which was made while receiving hundreds of Baales (family compound leaders) in his palace, was a reaction to Ajimobi's declaration that the review, which resulted in the installation of 21 new kings in Ibadan by the governor, had come to stay.
The statement said, "The Oyo State Governor, Abiola Ajimobi, at last Friday's Eid-el-Maolud celebration at the Remembrance Arcade, Agodi, Ibadan, was quoted as saying that there was no going back on the enthronement of the new kings."
The monarch said that the crisis was not a personal fight between him and Ajimobi, noting that many stakeholders, apart from him, had filed suits against the governor, challenging his authority to install traditional kings in Ibadan.
