Ruling House Urges Ogun Governor to Lift Suspension on Awujale Selection
The Fusengbuwa Ruling House has appealed to Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun to lift the suspension placed on the selection process for the Awujale stool, a development that has drawn attention within traditional and political circles.
In its plea, the ruling house called for the restoration of the exercise to enable kingmakers to carry out their customary responsibility of choosing a successor. Representatives of the family emphasized the cultural and historical significance of the Awujale institution, describing the delay as a matter of concern to indigenes and stakeholders.
The appeal underscores growing interest surrounding the succession process, which remains a sensitive subject in the state’s traditional governance structure. Observers note that such transitions often attract public scrutiny due to their symbolic and administrative importance.
While the state government has yet to issue a fresh statement on the request, the call from the Fusengbuwa Ruling House is expected to intensify discussions regarding the way forward. Community leaders and residents continue to monitor developments, anticipating clarity on the next steps in the selection process.
