An Oyo State High Court presided over by Justice Olajumoke Aiki on Friday declared the review of the 1957 Olubadan Chieftaincy Declaration and other Related Chieftaincies in Ibadan land by the Justice Akintunde Boade Review Commission, which was set up by the Oyo State Government, as unconstitutional, illegal, null, void and of no effect.

The commission had recommended, among others, the creation of several monarchs in Ibadan which led to the installation of 21 kings by the state Governor Abiola Ajimobi.

But the Osi Olubadan of Ibadan land, Rashidi Ladoja, challenged the composition and recommendations of the commission in court, joining Ajimobi as co-defendant.

While delivering judgment, Aiki held that wearing of beaded crowns is beyond the purview of sections 10, 12 and 25 of the Oyo State Chiefs Law, stating that Section 25 of the Chiefs Law could not be treated in isolation to the provisions of Parts Two and Three of the Chiefs Laws.

The court also said provisions of Parts Two and Three of the Chiefs Laws, particularly sections 10, 12 and 25, did not give power to the governor to review the Olubadan chieftaincy declaration, while also restraining the government from accepting and implementing the reports of the commission.

Great!

Good. I think he wants to use his position to break the power of Olubadan, thereby colonizing Ibadan for his own self for future political gains. It's not done.

Mr. Constituted Authority, no be only you sabi play chess...

21kings

Sounds like a Chinese movie

This is a very welcome development. Royalty is inherited by the circumstances of birth or won through military conquest as the case is in Ibadan and not created by government fiat. The 21 Ibadan kingship created by Ajimobi were absolutely unnecessary and a clear distortion of the proud history and tradition of Ibadan people. Thanks to the court for restoring sanity back to Ibadan traditional council.

First half, 1 - 0...waiting anxiously for the second half...

Who made the first king "royal"?

Ile to ba n toro, oloriburuku omo ale ibe ni ko tii d'agba.

Ajimobi is a bastard and I don't expect less from him, if you know his father you will not be surprised with the nonsense that he's doing

Opinionated:


Who made the first king "royal"?

War conquest, unanimous decision by the people to choose a royal leader, Oracle etc.

Too late. The judgement won't stand.

Good news, the crack is done already.
