Ruling House Rejects KWAM1’s Lineage Claim, Bid for Awujale Stool
Fusengbuwa Ruling House found no proof of Wasiu Ayinde's royal membership and declared his lineage claim form null and void after investigation.
- On December 11, 2025, the Fusengbuwa Ruling House declared Wasiu Ayinde's completed linkage form null and void, rejecting his claim to membership in a letter addressed to Ayinde.
- After Oba Sikiru Adetona's July 13 death, nominations opened for the Awujale stool, with the collection deadline extended from December 5 to December 10 by Otunba Abdulateef Owoyemi.
- The submission showed procedural irregularities as the form lacked authorised signatures, Omoba Adetayo Abayomi Oduneye Eruobodo is not registered with the Jadiara Royal House, and the ruling house investigation found no proof of Ayinde's membership.
- The ruling house's decision on Thursday removed Wasiu Ayinde from the Awujale contest, but Ayinde maintains he has roots in Fidipote and Fusengbuwa, while Otunba Akinola Odedina disputed his claim.
- An extended family meeting on Thursday reviewed and rejected the form tracing Ayinde's lineage to the Setejoye family unit, with the decision letter jointly signed by Otunba Lateef Owoyemi and Otunba Akinola Odedina.
