The Olufadegin family of Alekuso, Ibadan South-East Local Government Area of Oyo State has accused the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, of attempting to impose Mr Fatai Omosanjo Amzat as the family’s Mogaji, warning that the move could trigger a crisis within the lineage.
The allegation was contained in a statement issued on Saturday by Elder Dauda Adesina on behalf of the family in Ibadan, in which the family appealed to the monarch to withdraw Amzat’s name from the list of proposed compound heads to be installed, insisting that the selection of a Mogaji is an internal family affair.
The statement recalled that the last Mogaji of the Olufadegin family was the late Seriki Musulumi of Yorubaland, Alhaji Yekini Adeojo, who died on April 4, 2025.
Adeojo was also a former Deputy National Chairman (South) of the Peoples Democratic Party and the party’s governorship candidate in Oyo State.
