Ogun Governor Dapo Abiodun Announces Awujale Selection Timeline
Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State has assured that a new Awujale of Ijebuland will emerge before May 29, 2027. This statement was made during a stakeholders' meeting in Ijebu-Ode, attended by various interest group representatives.
Abiodun emphasized that the process for selecting the new traditional ruler would be peaceful, smooth, and acceptable, urging the community to remain calm and patient. He acknowledged the significance of the Awujale institution to the cultural heritage and unity of Ijebuland.
