Cross carpeting not amnesty for wrongdoing-Oba Ladoja

A former Governor of Oyo state and the Otun Olubadan of Ibadanland,  Oba Rashidi Ladoja has warned that cross carpeting from one political party to another was not a shield against corruption allegations.

Oba Ladoja gave this warning on Friday in an interaction with journalists in his Old Bodija, Ibadan, Nigeria residence.

''Moving from one political party to another is not new. Some people are doing this to protect themselves against the EFCC. However, moving  from one party to another should not be perceived as amnesty for wrong doing.'' he stated.

The former governor called on Nigerians to pray for the emergence of a government that would take care of the people, adding 2027 is still far way. Bola Tinubu has done well. Two years is still far, it just like we are playing football.''

Oba Ladoja wondered what had become of the labor movement in the country saying, '' I listened to the NLC president, Ajaero, I felt for him. He is leading a team that is neither here nor there.''

Support the Poor-Oba Ladoja to Wealthy Nigerians

Former Oyo State Governor and Otun Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, has charged comfortable Nigerians to continue to pray for and support the vulnerable and indigent in society. Oba Ladoja gave this charge on Sunday in an interaction with news reporters at his Old Bodija home in Ibadan, Nigeria. ''Those of us who do not know what people are passing through should use this period to not only pray for them but also assist them. Some people have been fasting before the 30-day Ramadan fast; let us continue to pray for this set of people and also support them. We should give those that do not have. We should also move away from sin; those who have moved away from sin don't go back." Oba Ladoja counseled.
