Members of the Olubadan-in-Council on Tuesday agreed to withdraw the court case over the controversy surrounding the elevation of some of the Ibadan High Chiefs to beaded wearing Oba by the administration of late Senator Abiola Ajimobi in 2017.
The decision to withdraw the case was arrived at by the kingmakers at a meeting held at the Olubadan’s palace, Oja’ba,Ibadan.
Addressing journalists at the end of the meeting, the Otun Balogun of Ibadanland, High Chief Tajudeen Ajibola disclosed that the High Chiefs had agreed with the governor to withdraw the suit in court and that the process of withdrawing the case has commenced.
High Chief Ajibola while declaring that due process would be followed, said, “the case was adjourned to the first of February this year and whatever happens, we would have to get to the court before the withdrawal could take place.”
Sources close to the meeting said it was a follow up to the agreement which the High Chiefs reached with Governor Seyi Makinde, on Saturday, that all parties should do whatever necessary to ensure the smooth selection and enthronement of the next Olubadan.
