The problem
Ladoja took office owing his nomination to Lamidi Adedibu, whose Ibadan-based patronage network expected control over appointments and revenue.
What was done
The attempt to govern independently triggered an unconstitutional impeachment; even after the Supreme Court restored him, the machine's grip on Oyo PDP politics was undiminished.
