Governor Dapo Abiodun has dismissed as rumours allegations of Awujale’s selection suspension


Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State has dismissed as rumours allegations circulating that he suspended the selection process for the next Awujale in order to impose and install Prince Kuye to the ancestral stool of Ijebuland.

The Kingmakers also rejected reports that the state government halted the selection process to allow the governor to impose his preferred candidate on the Awujale throne.
The state government had, for the second time, announced the cancellation of the selection process for the 95 aspirants, including a female contestant, following reports and petitions submitted by security agencies.

The Chairman of Ijebu Ode Local Council, Hon. Dare Alebiosun, directed the Fusengbuwa Ruling House and the Awujale kingmakers to suspend the ongoing process for the selection of a new Awujale of Ijebuland.

Speaking on the nomination process, the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Hon. Ganiyu Hamzat, stated that the stoppage became imperative due to numerous petitions and security reports linked to the exercise.

  1. Whoever eventually emerges as the new Oba might not last on the throne.
    He will either be removed by court or die a mysterious death.

  2. This man is a weapon fashioned against Ogun’s state people. May God not make him successful in any of his future ambition

  3. ROYALTY BY ELECTION!
