The Ibadan King’s Men, a group of experienced professionals from Ibadan, have issued a strong advisory to members of the Olubadan-in-Council and Ibadan natives, urging them to refrain from making unnecessary comments regarding the Olubadan stool.
In a statement released on Friday, the group emphasized the importance of maintaining decorum and avoiding public statements on the ongoing dispute within the Olubadan-in-Council. The group, led by Alhaji Olatunji Oladejo and Chief Gaphar Ojetola, convened an emergency meeting at the University of Ibadan to address the escalating tensions among council members.
The group urged all stakeholders to contribute positively to the resolution of the conflict and cautioned against any actions that could exacerbate the situation. They specifically called on key players to exercise restraint and avoid making inflammatory remarks that could further polarize the community.
Highlighting a recent viral interview by a High Chief that hinted at internal discord within the council, the group stressed the need for unity and solidarity among all parties involved. They also warned against external interference in the traditional chieftaincy system of Ibadanland, urging politicians to respect the age-old customs and traditions of the region.
In conclusion, the Ibadan King’s Men called on all Ibadan natives to refrain from discussing the issue on social media and to approach the matter with caution and sensitivity. By promoting unity and peaceful dialogue, the group aims to prevent any further escalation of the crisis and uphold the integrity of the Olubadan stool.
