The Olubadan of Ibadanland has expressed disapproval over been by-passed by President Goodluck Jonathan during the President's visit to Oyo state.
According to Vanguard, the monarch was waiting to receive the president in his palace not knowing he had already gone to Oyo town where he visited Alaafin of Oyo.
A statement issued by the Olubadan accused the President of breaching protocol. Part of the statement said,"While he and other members of the council awaited the arrival of the President, he breached the protocol of visiting him as the Chairman of the Oyo State Council of Obas and Chiefs and instead visited the Oyo state governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, who went with him to visit the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III"
The Olubadan added that by-passing him meant that governor Ajimobi recognised the Alaafin of Oyo as the permanent Chairman of the State Council of Obas and Chiefs, contrary to the existing Chieftaincy Law as amended in 2011 in Cap 37 Laws of Oyo State, 2000, which makes the Chairmanship title rotational between the Alaafin, the Olubadan and Soun of Ogbomoso every two years.
