Family accuses Ladoja of imposing Mogaji, warns of looming crisis

“Instead of going for third one, one of our elders, Lateef Busari, in the family wanted him (Omosanjo Amzat) to be the candidate chosen, and said he would go at any length even to meet the traditional ruler one on one as well as using his personal relationship with the monarch to influence Omosanjo’s emergence,” the statement alleged.

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 further alleged that instead of allowing a third ballot to resolve the contest, one of the family elders, Lateef Busari, sought to influence the process in favour of Amzat.
