Fuji music legend KWAM1 faces rejection in his bid for the Awujale throne. The Fusengbuwa Ruling House denies his royal ties. This decision sparks debate in Ijebu-Ode, Nigeria.
Background of the Succession
The Awujale stool becomes vacant soon. Oba Sikiru Adetona reigns as the current king. Tradition rotates the throne among ruling houses. Now Fusengbuwa holds the next turn.
KWAM1, whose real name is Wasiu Ayinde Marshall, joins the race. He claims descent from the Oba Jadiara branch. Additionally, he cites his title as Olori Omo-Oba from the late king as proof.
However the Jadiara Royal House disputes this. They state KWAM1 lacks genealogical links to them.
Ruling House’s Firm Stance
Leaders of the Fusengbuwa Ruling House reject KWAM1’s application. They demand he proves his lineage. Only true family members can compete, they insist. The chairman warns against false claims. Therefore they bar KWAM1 from the selection process. This move protects the throne’s integrity.
Implications for Ijebu Land
This controversy highlights succession challenges. It divides opinions in the community. Meanwhile the search for the next Awujale continues. Experts predict more debates ahead. Ultimately tradition will decide the winner. The ruling house’s decision sets a precedent against unverified claims.
