FUJI STAR KWAM 1 DISOWNED BY FUSENGBUWA RULING HOUSE OVER AWUJALE THRONE ASPIRATION
GREATRIBUNETVNEWS–Fusengbuwa Ruling House of Ijebu-Ode has officially disowned Fuji music icon, Otunba Wasiu Ayinde, KWAM 1, stating he’s not a member of the royal family and therefore ineligible to contest for the Awujale throne .
KEY DEVELOPMENTS:
– Disownment : Fusengbuwa Ruling House declares KWAM 1 has no ancestral connection to their royal line
– Controversy : KWAM 1 claimed legitimacy through Jadiara unit, but family says he’s from Fidipote ruling house
– Petition : Jadiara unit petitioned Fusengbuwa chairman and Ogun State Government, denying KWAM 1’s claim
– Eligibility : Only male descendants from Fusengbuwa’s four branches (Jadiara, Fusengbuwa proper, Bubiade, and Tunwase) are eligible
– Next Steps : Shortlisted candidates will be announced December 15, with kingmakers selecting the next Awujale within seven days .
Addressing journalists at Agunsenbi Ule Nla, the seat of the Fusengbuwa Ruling House, spokesperson of the Fusengbuwa nomination committee, Omoba Abiodun Adesanya Ogidan, reiterated that Wasiu Ayinde is “not our family member.”
He explained that an investigation into family history, as well as consultations with all units of the ruling house, including Jadiara, confirmed that KWAM 1 is neither a Jadiara nor has his lineage endorsed by the Olori-Ebi of the unit he claimed.
Omoba Ogidan stressed that the Fusengbuwa Ruling House will not admit non-family members, warning that doing so would amount to introducing “fake people” into the lineage.
He added that history cannot be rewritten to include outsiders.
He also clarified that the collection and submission of the official nomination forms had closed, adding that what KWAM 1 submitted was a family lineage form, not a nomination for the Awujale stool.
The names of the nominated princes and princesses are scheduled to be announced on December 15, 2025, at Bisrod Hall, GRA Ijebu-Ode, in line with the established guidelines
