Former Governor of Oyo State, Senator Rasidi Adewolu Ladoja, has withdrawn the suit he filed against members of Olubadan-in-Council.
He did that in order to hasten the coronation and installation of Olubadan-designate, High Chief Owolabi Olakulehin.
He is the Otun Olubadan and one of the High Chiefs that make up the Olubadan-in-Council.
Ladoja 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.
It was further learned from a source close to Ladoja that the former governor has withdrawn the case.
A close associate of the former governor, Adeola Oloko, confirmed the withdrawal of the case to journalists in Ibadan, the state capital on Tuesday.
He said:“Yes,it’is true.”
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.
