The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State has accused Oba Saliu Adetunji, the Olubadan of Ibadan land, of not receiving his allowances for the past six months. The party's Director of Media, Research and Strategy, Dr. AbdulAzeez Olatunde, praised Olubadan for seeking legal action over the installation of 21 new kings by Governor Abiola Ajimobi. Olatunde stated that the monarch collected statutory allocations from the 11 council areas and the state government, stating that both sources had been remitting the money regularly. The APC also noted that the state government has paid all monarchs in the state up to June 2017 from the appropriated fund of the approved budget.
