Ogun State Halts Awujale Selection Process Over Petitions and Security Concerns
The Ogun State government has once again suspended the selection process for a new Awujale of Ijebu Land following the demise of Oba Sikiru Adetona, who reigned for 65 years. The decision was made due to multiple petitions and security issues, leading to heavy security deployment at the Awujale palace.
The government aims to maintain public order and protect the integrity of the selection process. Ganiyu Hamzat, the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, signed the statement addressing the halt in the selection process.
