Fayose Holds Closed-Door Meeting with Olubadan at Bodija; Warns Governor Makinde to ‘Tread Softly’ as He Vows Truth Behind Dethronement Plot Will Soon Explode

The political “Tsunami” in Oyo State moved from social media to the doorstep of the palace on Today, April 14, 2026, as Ayo Fayose held a high-profile closed-door meeting with the Olubadan of Ibadan. The “Solution” to the rising tension between the state government and the traditional stool appears to be a direct alliance between the former Ekiti Governor and Oba Rashidi Ladoja. Arriving at the Bodija residence late in the afternoon, Fayose made it clear that he is in the “digital trenches” with the King, regardless of official denials from the Secretariat.

The “Renewed Hope” for a peaceful resolution seemed far off as Fayose addressed the monarch and the press. He dismissed the government’s recent denials as “noise from dogs in the yard” and told the Olubadan to remain focused on his reign. “I, Peter Ayodele Fayose, popularly called Oshokomole, am here to identify with this institution,” he declared, adding that those in power are “scared of the King’s CV” and what he represents. By “tinkering” with the idea of a query or removal, Fayose warned that the administration is playing a dangerous game.

Fayose’s “Drill or Drop” advice wasn’t just for the Governor, but also for the legislative branch. He warned Speaker Adebo Ogundoyin not to let his ambition for a governorship ticket lead him into a trap of destabilizing the traditional institution. The former Governor insisted that his earlier warnings about a “secret query” were rooted in facts that the public would soon see for themselves. “Keep your fingers crossed,” he told the crowd of supporters gathered outside the gates.

As the sun sets on Ibadan tonight, the meeting between these two political veterans has left the city buzzing with suspicion. While the government maintains that there is no plot against the Olubadan, Fayose’s presence at the palace suggests a “counter-script” is already being written. For the people of Ibadan, the message is one of high-stakes drama: when a man like Fayose travels across state lines to “stand with the throne,” the storm is likely just beginning.
