The Fusengbuwa ruling house stated that every aspirant to the Awujale throne must prove seven generations of royal lineage

KWAM 1’s application received a special extension as the family insists on strict verification

Royal insiders outlined the timeline for selecting the next Awujale, with January 2026 set as the decisive month

Fuji legend Wasiu Ayinde, popularly known as KWAM 1, has officially entered the race for one of Nigeria’s most revered traditional stools, the Awujale of Ijebuland.

But before his name can move forward, the Ijebu-Ode royal family has handed him a critical task.

In a letter dated December 3, 2025, the musician announced his interest in the Awujale throne, describing himself as a “bonafide son” of the Fusengbuwa ruling house.

The letter circulated widely online, placing the music icon at the center of a major cultural conversation.

But for the ruling house, interest alone is not enough.

The family’s chairman, Abdulateef Owoyemi, told The PUNCH that every aspirant must complete a detailed royal lineage data form, a document that traces ancestry up to seven generations. And KWAM 1 is no exception.

Why the lineage form matters KWAM 1

Owoyemi explained that the form is the foundation of the entire selection process. According to him, the ruling house is determined to prevent “strangers” from laying claim to the ancient throne.

He explained: “The first step is to declare your lineage. Your parents, grandparents, and those before them must be traced. Only genuine members of Fusengbuwa will be allowed.”

The form must be submitted to the head of the ruling house unit, who will verify the family’s authenticity before any other step can proceed.

A special extension for KWAM 1

While the window for applications closed on December 5, the ruling house revealed that KWAM 1 has been granted a five-day extension, which expires on December 10. Owoyemi stressed that the family would not shut anyone out, but every right comes with responsibility.

He stated: “We welcome men of influence who will strengthen the stool. But they must first prove they truly belong.”

The royal process is already on a tight schedule. The local government has given the Fusengbuwa house 14 days, ending December 18, to present candidates to the kingmakers.

Those kingmakers then have seven days to select one name, which will be forwarded to the Ogun State governor.

From there, a 21-day government review begins, including background checks, objection periods, and security clearance.

The Senator representing Delta North senatorial district at the National Assembly, Ned Nwoko, has confirmed the viral medical reports in which his estranged wife, Regina Daniels, tested positive for cocaine, marijuana, alcohol, morphine, opiates and other hard drugs.

Naija News recalls that the medical report issued by Serenity Royale Hospital in Abuja and signed by its Managing Director/Head of Clinical Services, Dr. Adekunle Adesina, revealed that the movie star has been battling severe substance abuse and has been undergoing a detoxification program  from September 9 to October 15, 2025.

The medical report stated that the hospital’s psychological emergency unit was called to Nwoko’s residence on September 23, when Regina had reportedly not slept for 48 hours and was visibly aggressive.

The report emphasized that Regina presented with verbal aggression, anger, agitation, and incongruent affect, with her mood described as “elated and evasive.”

The hospital also outlined several challenges encountered during the detox process, stressing that the thespian had made little progress in substance withdrawal because she “still has access to psychoactive substances, hence frustrating the process.”

However, the medical facility, in a statement via its Instagram page, said the leaked document did not emanate from them, as they are committed to ensuring medical confidentiality.

Ned Nwoko, in a statement issued on Saturday, pointed out that the medical facility did not deny authorizing the leaked document but only clarified that it did not publish the document.

Nwoko stated that Regina Daniels’ recent decisions are not coming from a stable and healthy frame of mind, stressing that she is vulnerable and exposed to individuals who exploit her for personal gain.

The statement added that Senator Nwoko is genuinely and deeply concerned for Regina Daniels to recover, be safe and present in the lives of her children.

But thanks for standing by knowing the truth amidst knowing your big fish in the family, saving your hospital and  doing the right thing. So thanks and let me kill this”.
