A former Governor of Oyo State, Senator Rasidi Adewolu Ladoja, has withdrawn the suit he filed against members of Olubadan-in-Council.
Ladoja is the current Otun Olubadan of Ibadanland and one of the High Chiefs that make up the Olubadan-in-Council.
He had earlier instituted the suit against the members of the Council over the beaded wearing crown before the demise of the late 42th Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Lekan Balogun.
However, a source close to Ladoja disclosed that the former governor has withdrawn the case.
A close associate of the former governor, Adeola Oloko, confirmed the withdrawal of the case to reporters on Tuesday.
He said, “Yes. It is true.”
It was gathered that the withdrawal of the case from the court is expected to pave way for the coronation of Owolabi Akinloye Olakulehin as the 43rd Olubadan of Ibadanland.
The Olubadan stool is currently vacant, following the transition of the 42nd Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Lekan Balogun.
