Ogun govt cancels Awujale selection process

Abiodun

The Ogun State Government has nullified the ongoing selection process for the vacant stool of the Awujale and Paramount Ruler of Ijebuland.

The Vice Chairman of the Fusengbuwa Ruling House, Prof. Fassy Yusuf, confirmed the development in a telephone interview with our correspondent on Wednesday.

The Awujale stool became vacant following the death of Oba Sikiru Adetona, who passed away in July at the age of 91 after a 65-year reign.

In a letter dated December 2, 2025, and signed by the Secretary to the Ijebu Ode Local Government Area, Oke Adebanjo, the Fusengbuwa Ruling House was directed to produce the next Awujale. Punch
