The ruling house, in a statement shared by the presidential aide on social media, explained that the letter KWAM 1 claimed to have cleared him as a prince to contest the foremost Awujale stool in Ijebu land was faulty.

It further noted that the form was not signed by the authorised family head, whom K1 had claimed. It added that Erubobo was not a registered member of the Jadiara Royal House and that there is no proof that KWAM 1 was either a member of the Jadiara Royal House or of the Fusengbuwa Ruling House.

Sharing the rejection statement in a social media post on Thursday, December 11, Onanuga wrote:

"Fusengbuwa Ruling House in Ijebu Ode, my home town rejects Wasiu Anifowose a.k.a KWAM 1’s claim to the Awujale throne."
