Political tension is rising in southwestern Nigeria after explosive allegations surfaced claiming a ₦1 billion plot to impeach Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, while the State House of Assembly Speaker reportedly faces intense pressure amid the unfolding crisis.
The controversy has deepened further with claims that the revered Olubadan Palace, a major traditional institution in Ibadan, has also been drawn into the political storm sparking outrage and concern across the state.
Governor Makinde, one of Nigeria’s most prominent opposition leaders, has yet to officially respond to the accusations, but the report has already ignited fierce debate over power struggles, elite influence, and the growing clash between politics and traditional authority.
