In a recent statement, Lateef Owoyemi, the chairman of the Fusengbuwa ruling house, clarified that the royal family has adequately fulfilled its role in selecting candidates for the new Awujale of Ijebu land. They have officially submitted their nominated candidates to the designated kingmakers, emphasizing that the final selection is now beyond their purview. Owoyemi reiterated that no complaints have been raised against the family's efforts in this process, signaling a sense of completion regarding their responsibilities.

The discussion around the new Awujale, which is a significant position within the Ijebu land's traditional hierarchy, indicates an ongoing interest and engagement from both the royal family and the community in this transition. This selection is crucial as the Awujale not only holds cultural significance but also plays a vital role in the governance and representation of the Ijebu people. The kingmakers, along with the state government, are now expected to carry out their duties in a timely manner to conclude the selection process.

Challenges in reaching the state government for comments on this matter reflect some communication barriers in the ongoing process. While the ruling house appears ready and willing to cooperate, the lack of response from state authorities could impact the timeline of the selection, thus engaging the community and stakeholders in a wait-and-see approach regarding the future leadership within Ijebu land.
