History was made yesterday in Ibadan where 21 monarchs were coronated – against the wish of Oba Saliu Adetunji, the Olubadan. Governor Abiola Ajimobi urged Oba Adetunji to stay away from politics and not allow himself to be used by those he classified as disgruntled elements. He said:  ”We also congratulate the  Olubadan  of Ibadanland and advise that  Kaabiyesi  should remain the father of all Ibadan citizens and not allow himself to be used by disgruntled elements as observed in his recent utterances, which tend towards the political. It should be noted that  Obas  are not expected to play politics.” The Olubadan was absent at the event following his opposition to the upgrade of 21 former  Baales  and 11 high chiefs who are members of the  Olubadan-in-Council , to Obas’ status. Each of the 32 upgraded obas bear the “His Imperial Majesty” title. The governor, who explained that the elevation of the  baales  and chiefs would in no way affect the status of Oba Adetunji, said

Olufemi Atoyebi, Ibadan The Oyo State Governor, Abiola Ajimobi, on Sunday presented staff of office to the 21 new kings in Ibadan.

Ajimobi has no right to create beaded kings, says Olubadan The Olubadan of Ibadan land, Oba Saliu Adetunji, on Tuesday described the report of the commission set up by the Oyo State Governor Abiola Ajimobi to review the existing chieftaincy matters in Ibadan land as a ‘joke carried too far.’ This was contained in a statement signed on behalf of the monarch by his Director, Media and Public Affairs, Mr. Adeola Oloko, in reaction to an interview granted by the state Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters, Mr. Bimbo Kolade, in Ibadan to a radio station that the recommendations of the chieftaincy commission report would be implemented.  The report had recommended the enthronement of 32 beaded kings for some lesser cities in Ibadan land. But in the statement Olubadan opposed the recommendation. The statement said, “For the avoidance of doubt, there was never a time that Olubadan supported the review embarked upon by the Oyo State Government. This was why the f
