Even during the first Republic Ibadan being the capital of the old Western Region played significant roles in how  how to shape the political siattion as the roles of the prominent indigines were always a factor.
The significant of the town and its people have not changed because they are master planners and executors who always see the end of whoever they are whether an outsider or their owm. Because when they make up their minds they will never retreat or surrender  and the situation is worse if it is a collective battle.
This collective battle import into politics started in the second Republican against Chief Bola Ige.
Since the on going political dispensation starred in1999  their collective decision has to a great extent been a factor in who governs Oyo state.. For the past 20 years they have been dictating the Pace with their numerical strength against others in the state.
The gang up led to the removal of Senator Rashidi Ladoja  with the Alhaji Lamidi Adedibu as the arrow head. The same went for the removal of Otunba Adebayo Akala who is not their own from Ogbomosho.
Also when the incumbent Senator ABIOLA Ajimobi was to come to power it was the same Ibadan gang up that helped him and right now I after spending 8 years of two terms I. Office which never happened in the political history of Oyo State he has suffered the same faith as the same gang up  made him to lose the senatorial election which he never thought could happen. He lost to someone people never gave a chance .
The war against Ajimobi and the APC started with his appointment of Obas ams other first class rulers with beaded crown in the Olubadan in council which the Olubasan regarded as an a front to the stool and authority
. As a result the Olubadan waited the right time to strike which was the election and he made sure that he mobilised against him

What also got Ibadan angry was the involvement of Tinubu in the politics of Oyo State by involving Akala that he should help them get Oyo State. This ignited the already fire which Ajimobi was tying to pur off to ensure that the party wins the governorship ele ction without an outsider
As a matter of fact Tinubu’s involvement got other Ibadan politicians and governorship candidates angry and this made   them to fuse together to form  formidable force to back Seyi Makunde against Adelabu.
With the situation now the ApC Will have to GI back to the drawing table to fight back as an opposition party in Oyo state
Also know one is sure of what would become.  the political future of Ajimobi Adelabu and Akala in Oyo State
