Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has warned that Oyo State could face unrest if any attempt is made to remove the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, from the throne.
Igboho gave the warning in a video clip shared by a local media platform on Friday, amid earlier allegations of a plot to dethrone the monarch.
He warned that any governor who attempted to remove Ladoja would face resistance, insisting that the monarch’s position should not be threatened.
“They will declare a state of emergency. If any governor tries it, it is from Soka here that this state would be shaking,” he said.
Igboho questioned why anyone would contemplate removing the monarch, stressing that the Olubadan was an indigene of the state and deserved respect.
“Why will you remove Olubadan? All of us are from Oyo State,” he added.
The agitator also reacted to claims that there were plans to waylay or ambush the monarch, saying such talk should not go beyond rumour. He maintained that Ladoja should not be targeted, either at home or elsewhere.

“When someone told me that they said they were going to waylay Olubadan, I said no one dare try such. It should remain a gossip. You cannot go and ambush him. Even when he is not yet Olubadan, you dare not, not to talk of now that he is on that seat,” Igboho said.
He further warned those who might consider such an action that they would face consequences, insisting that no one should attempt to intimidate the monarch.

“One million of you dare not try it. If you attempt it, you will run away from the government house. How will you say you want to ambush Olubadan at his home? It should remain a gossip,” he added.
Igboho said he had personally assured Ladoja that he had nothing to fear, expressing confidence that no one would dare attack the monarch in his residence.
“I have told Olubadan, ‘Baba, sleep and snore. There is no one that can come and meet you in your house. We are all indigenes of Oyo State. May Olubadan live long,” he said.
