Senator Rashidi Ladoja and Senator Abiola Ajimobi has a lot in common. They are both respected people in Nigeria, ex-Governors of Oyo State and they are prominent sons of Ibadan, both successful in their chosen careers.
Unfortunately the two don’t agree, they are always at opposite sides of reasoning, either politically or in principle. The recent fight between the two men is over a property Senator Ajimobi built his retirement home which Chief Ladoja is laying claims to.
The land in question sits on a vintage 1.375 hectares in Agodi GRA, Ibadan.
It’s a choice land where Governor Ajimobi has decided to build his fantasy home, in an area where the rich lives in Ibadan.
It was earlier reported that the family of late business mogul, Aare Arisekola Alao was at war with Ajimobi over the property, claiming the land rightfully belonged to their father.
A source revealed that Governor Ladoja was the first owner of the property, the property was seized from him by Governor Alao Akala who reported him to EFCC and the land was tagged as one of the proceeds of crime being investigated by the anti-graft commission.
During the process of the trials, Governor Akala sold the land to Aare Arisekola Alao, the muslim scholar later got to know that the land was seized from Ladoja and he didn’t want an issue with Ladoja who he holds in high esteem, he presented the land as a gift to Governor Ajimobi who started constructing a house on it, along the line the EFCC charges against Governor Ladoja was dropped after 9 years of investigation and the matter of the land sprung up.
It is revealed that Senator Ladoja has filed the case in court and confided in a friend that he would use all the necessary means to eject Senator Ajimobi from the property.
