He also claimed that the monarch risked being queried over his absence at the recent installation of Sharafadeen Alli and two others as Obas in Ibadan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alli currently represents Oyo South Senatorial District and is seeking the governorship ticket of the All Progressives Congress ahead of the 2027 elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reacting, the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Prince Dotun Oyelade, said the allegation lacks substance, stressing that no such plan has ever been considered by the government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He noted that the claim should be viewed in the light of partisan politics, adding that it does not deserve serious attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere is no basis for such a claim. The government has not at any time contemplated or discussed such a move,\u201d Oyelade said, describing the allegation as propaganda aimed at misleading the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On its part, the Olubadan Palace also faulted the claim, maintaining that there is no discord between the governor and the monarch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Media aide to the Olubadan, Adeola Oloko, said the allegation was nothing more than a rumour, expressing surprise at suggestions of any friction between both parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere is no issue between the governor and Olubadan.
