Ogun State Government Halts Selection Process for New Awujale in Ijebuland

The Ogun State government has stopped the selection process for a new Awujale in Ijebuland, leading to a response from the kingmakers. Chief Kuku, head of the kingmakers, confirmed the suspension but assured that consultations are ongoing to resolve the matter promptly.

The government's directive to halt the process has raised concerns, although Chief Kuku emphasized the council's independence and commitment to a peaceful and credible outcome. The kingmakers have already screened 86 valid applications and are prepared to resume the process once the suspension is lifted.
