Those linked to the unfolding situation include Governor Seyi Makinde, Speaker Adebo Ogundoyin, the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Rashidi Ladoja, and former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose.

The crisis reportedly began during a PDP caucus meeting at the State House of Assembly, which escalated into a heated confrontation, exposing internal disagreements among lawmakers.

Sources described the atmosphere as tense, with divisions over alleged moves to remove the Speaker, as some lawmakers resisted the plan while others were said to support a leadership change.

Tensions deepened further with claims of a ₦1 billion inducement plot allegedly tied to efforts to impeach Governor Makinde. However, former First Lady Florence Ajimobi dismissed the allegation, describing it as false and politically motivated.

In a dramatic development, Speaker Ogundoyin confirmed he was approached with an offer linked to the alleged plot but said he rejected it, insisting his loyalty to the governor and the PDP remains intact.

Insiders suggested the situation may be connected to political rivalries and attempts to weaken Ogundoyin’s rising influence, especially amid speculations about his governorship ambition.

As tensions grew, Governor Makinde reportedly intervened by holding a meeting with lawmakers, which helped calm the situation and halt any impeachment moves.

Meanwhile, Ayo Fayose alleged that the governor was planning to remove the Olubadan, a claim the monarch, Rashidi Ladoja, dismissed as unverified.

Ogundoyin also clarified that his visit to the Olubadan was simply to inform him of his political ambition and seek blessings, not linked to any crisis.

Despite the controversy, stakeholders have expressed hope that the situation will be resolved through dialogue and internal reconciliation.
