Why Has Oyo State Never Had a Yoruba First Lady?

Oyo State hasn’t had a Yoruba First Lady in over 30 years. It seems Ibadan women are repeatedly passed over for this role. Is this due to bias against women from Ibadan or a wider agreement to exclude Yoruba candidates? Even those considered for the position now and in the future aren’t Yoruba. Can Ibadan still claim “war has never packed them” when it feels like a “vagina war” is keeping them out of the governor’s lodge?
