Fusengbuwa Ruling House Claims Sabotage in Succession

The Fusengbuwa Ruling House has alleged that there is a deliberate plot by adversaries to disqualify it from producing the next Awujale and Paramount Ruler of Ijebuland. Otunba Abdulateef Owoyemi, Chairman and Head of the ruling house, raised these concerns during an enlarged meeting of princes and princesses at Ile Nla, Agunsebi, Ijebu-Ode, on Saturday.

He stated that the meeting aimed to update members on the stalled succession process and the legal actions taken to protect the family's interests. The ruling house has initiated court proceedings against Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun, nine Ijebu-Ode kingmakers, and five others, seeking a court order to compel the completion of the selection process.

Owoyemi emphasized the unity of the house, noting that the large turnout at the meeting demonstrated support for the leadership's decisions. He urged members to remain calm and law-abiding as they pursue their legal rights to reclaim their turn in the succession process.
