Awujale succession: DSS invites Fusengbuwa ruling house leaders

The Department of State Services (DSS) in Ogun State reportedly invited three leaders of the Fusengbuwa ruling house over the sale of expression-of-interest forms to princes seeking the vacant Awujale stool of Ijebuland. Chairman Otunba Abdulateef Owoyemi, deputy chairman Otunba Dokun Ajidagba and vice chairman Professor Fassy Yusuf were reportedly asked to appear at the DSS office in Abeokuta on October 29, 2026. Yusuf confirmed receiving the letter but said he was in Abuja for a Supreme Court matter; Ajidagba also confirmed the invitation and questioned its timing, saying the succession issues were already before the courts. The DSS did not immediately confirm the invitations, amid a dispute following the death of Oba Sikiru Adetona in July 2025.

The Federal High Court in Abuja declared Okorocha the APC candidate for the Imo West senatorial seat and ordered Uzodinma to stop presenting himself as the winner of the May 18 primary. Justice Obiora Egwuatu ruled that the evidence showed Okorocha had won the majority of votes.
