Ogun Suspends Awujale Selection Again Amid Security Concerns

Wale busari03 mins

The Ogun State government has once again put the selection of a new Awujale of Ijebu land on hold. Our correspondent in Ijebu Ode reports that security at the Awujale palace was heightened on Wednesday, with police and officers of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps deployed to the area. The Awujale throne became vacant in July 2025 following the death of 91-year-old Oba Sikiru Adetona, who ruled for 65 years. In a statement signed by the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Ganiyu Hamzat, the government said the decision to suspend the process was due to numerous petitions from security agencies and other key stakeholders. The statement partly read: “The Awujale stool is one of the foremost and most prestigious chieftaincy titles in Yoruba land and Ogun State. The stature of the late Oba Sikiru Adetona, who reigned for sixty-five years, significantly enhanced the modern esteem of the stool. “The focus and scrutiny on the next Awujale are therefore considerable. The State Government has received multiple petitions, reports from security agencies, and inputs from stakeholders regarding the ongoing selection process. “To preserve public order, protect the integrity of the process, and maintain the respect due the stool, it has become necessary to halt the selection at this time. “This decision is made in line with the provisions of the Obas and Chiefs’ Law of Ogun State, 2021, which empowers the government to set aside an appointment in the interest of peace, order, and good governance. “The Awujale Kingmakers Council and the Fusengbuwa Ruling House are to be notified immediately and advised to await further directives regarding the selection process.” This marks the second suspension of the Awujale selection process. The first was in December 2025, when the government halted it citing procedural errors.

He further advised that anyone with objections or grievances regarding the process should direct them to the government through the proper channels.

Fusengbuwa Ruling House Rejects KWAM 1’s Lineage Claim, Declares Form Null And Void

Wale busari04 mins

The Fusengbuwa Ruling House of Ijebu-Ode has officially rejected Fuji musician Wasiu Ayinde Marshall, popularly known as KWAM 1, declaring his submitted lineage form for the Awujale selection process “null, void, and of no consequence.” In a letter dated December 11, 2025, addressed to the musician, the ruling house stated that its investigation found no evidence linking Ayinde to the Jadiara Royal House or the wider Fusengbuwa lineage, which is currently entitled to produce the next Awujale of Ijebuland. The statement, signed by Fusengbuwa Ruling House Chairman Otunba Lateef Owoyemi, criticized the form’s certification, noting it was endorsed by Adetayo Abayomi Oduneye, described as “a purported family unit head” who is not recognized as a member of the Jadiara Royal House. The ruling house also flagged the timing of the endorsement, pointing out that the form was certified on December 8—two days before Ayinde signed it on December 10—calling it “presigned.” “Our extensive investigation has not revealed any proof of your membership of the Jadiara Royal House or indeed that of Fusengbuwa Ruling House,” the letter read, adding that Oduneye had no authority to certify lineage documents. “Consequently, the completed linkage lineage form is hereby declared null, void, and of no consequence. For the avoidance of doubt, your claim to the membership of Fusengbuwa Ruling House is rejected,” the statement added. The declaration comes amid heightened attention surrounding the selection of a new Awujale following the July death of Oba Sikiru Adetona, who reigned for 65 years. Earlier on Thursday, the ruling house publicly disowned KWAM 1, insisting he is neither known to the family nor entitled to participate in the selection. The musician had submitted his form after being granted a five-day extension beyond the official December 5 deadline. His submission claimed descent from the Setejoye family unit of the Jadiara Royal House through his father, Adisa Adesanya Anifowoshe, with Oduneye as a countersigner. However, multiple family heads, including leaders of the Jadiara and Bubiade units, had already denied any genealogical link to the musician, maintaining that neither he nor his father belongs to their lineage. The Fusengbuwa Ruling House convened an emergency meeting on Thursday to review Ayinde’s submission and address the surrounding controversies.

K1 De-Ultimate Submits Fusengbuwa Royal Lineage Form In Bid For Awujale Throne

Wale busari02 mins

Fuji music legend Wasiu Ayinde, popularly known as K1 De-Ultimate, has submitted his completed royal lineage form to the Fusengbuwa Ruling House as part of his bid for the Awujale and Paramount Ruler of Ijebuland throne. The move comes after the ruling house gave him an ultimatum to provide detailed ancestral information, a prerequisite for confirming his membership in the family. Only verified descendants of the Fusengbuwa line are eligible to participate in the selection process. Abdulateef Owoyemi, chairman of the ruling house and former president of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria, emphasized that the process is strictly for bona fide family members. Contenders must trace their genealogy back seven generations to ensure that the throne is reserved for legitimate princes. Ayinde had earlier expressed his interest in the stool in a letter dated December 3, 2025, declaring himself a “bonafide son” of the Fusengbuwa family and affirming that his candidacy complies with Ijebu customary law and Ogun State Chieftaincy Laws. The letter went viral on social media shortly after it surfaced. Owoyemi explained that the Olori Omooba of Ijebuland had instructed all aspirants to complete the royal lineage form. Once verified, candidates can proceed to the expression of interest stage. K1 De-Ultimate was granted an extension to submit his form, which will close on December 10. He added that the ruling house welcomes influential figures who will strengthen the throne while ensuring that only rightful members of the Fusengbuwa family are considered, preserving the integrity of the lineage.
