A prince identified by the Oracle (Ifa) as the most suitable successor to the late Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona, has emerged following the screening of 95 nominees by the Fusengbuwa Ruling House in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State.

The development was disclosed on Monday after the conclusion of the nomination exercise held at the Bisirodipe Hall, GRA, Ijebu-Ode, by the Olori-Ebi of the Fusengbuwa Ruling House, Otunba Lateef Owoyemi.

Owoyemi said the ruling house was confident that the kingmakers and the Ogun State Government would eventually select a candidate who reflects the aspirations of the family, the will of the ancestors, and the divine guidance revealed through Ifa. He, however, declined to disclose the identity of the prince favoured by the oracle.

Among the nominees screened are Princess Oluwakemi Adetokunboh; Prince Adebisi Kadiri, a retired Lagos State Permanent Secretary; Prince Abdul-Fatai Arowolo of Aeron Construction; Prince Olumuyiwa Adeyemi; Prince Okeowo Obafemi; and Prince Adegbenga Bakare, among others.

Owoyemi, who is also the Otunba Jadiara of Ijebuland and a former President of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN), explained that extensive traditional consultations were conducted before the ruling house resolved to back one of the nominees.

The full list of the 95 nominees was jointly endorsed by Otunba Owoyemi; his deputy, Prince Adedokun Ajidagba; Vice Chairman, Professor Fassy Yusuf; and Secretary of the Fusengbuwa Ruling House, Pastor Bolarinde Salami. Officials of the Ijebu-Ode Local Government, led by the Secretary to the Local Government, Hon. Adebanjo Oke, witnessed the exercise.

Describing the process as peaceful and transparent, Owoyemi said the exercise marked a collective victory for the Fusengbuwa Ruling House. He added that a new Awujale is expected to emerge within one month, noting that all contenders have signed undertakings not to challenge the final selection in court.

Lagos Reporters will continue to follow developments surrounding the emergence of the next Awujale of Ijebuland.
