If any governor tries it, it is from Soka here that this state would be shaking. Why will you remove Olubadan? All of us are from Oyo State," he said.Igboho also reacted to rumours that some people were planning to waylay or ambush the monarch, noting that no one should dare attack the Olubadan at home or anywhere.He further asserted that he had assured the Olubadan that he could sleep without fear, adding that no one can enter his house to intimidate him.The tension started in April when former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, claimed that Governor Seyi Makinde was plotting to dethrone Ladoja because he missed the planned coronation of high chiefs in Ibadan.But the Oyo State Government denied it. The Commissioner for Information, Dotun Oyelade, said at the time that the government never thought of removing Olubadan and never discussed it.Ibadan throne row: ‘Touch Olubadan and see crisis’ - Igboho warns
