New Awujale: Abiodun Tasks Kingmakers to Ensure Level Playing Field for Contestants

The governor also discussed the regency pathway and the need to follow the laws of Ijebuland during the selection process. He expressed hope that the process would be fair and that all contenders would be given an equal opportunity.
The Deputy Chairman of the Awujale council, Chief Oluwaranti Lekan Osifeso, reiterated the council's commitment to unity and progress in Ijebuland.
