Awujale Succession: Fusengbuwa Ruling House Speaks Amid Ijebu-Ode Contest
Fusengbuwa ruling house of Ijebu-Ode in Ogun State has insisted it remains united and determined to produce the next Awujale and Paramount Ruler of Ijebuland amid an ongoing succession crisis.
Family spokesmen stated that internal cohesion has not broken despite competing claims and legal moves.
The stool became vacant earlier, and several ruling houses have advanced candidates, leading to petitions and court processes.
The Fusengbuwa group maintains that tradition and established procedures place the next selection within its turn.
Local observers note that the contest carries deep cultural weight for the Ijebu people and has drawn attention from traditional institutions across the Southwest.
Kingmakers and state authorities continue to receive representations from the various houses. Community leaders have called for calm while the process runs its course.
The latest statement from Fusengbuwa aims to reassure supporters that the house speaks with one voice and will pursue every legitimate avenue to secure the stool.
With the succession process still attracting competing claims and legal attention, the coming stages will remain closely watched by the Ijebu community and traditional institutions across Ogun State.
