The Awujale Kingmakers Council has canceled a previously scheduled meet-and-greet to be held at the Aafin Awujale, directing Awujale nominees to report to the Department of State Services office in Ijebu-Ode on Wednesday by 11 am.
The directive was contained in a formal communication dated January 20, 2026, addressed to the Chairman of the Fusengbuwa ruling house, Otunba Lateef Owoyemi; his deputy, Otunba Dokun Ajidagba; and the Vice Chairman, Prof. Fassy Yusuf.
The notice stated that all Awujale nominees must report to the DSS office located along NTA Road, beside the State Psychiatric Hospital, off Igbeba Road, Ijebu-Ode by 11:00 a.m. prompt.
The council said the decision led to the cancellation of the earlier engagement at the Aafin Awujale and expressed regret for any inconvenience the sudden change may cause.
The letter, signed by Chief Ayotunde Ola Odulaja, Secretary of the Awujale Afobaje Council, urged all nominees to comply fully with the directive and ensure punctuality.
The development comes amid ongoing traditional processes related to Awujale nominations in Ijebuland. Further details on the outcome of the DSS engagement were not disclosed at the time of filing this report.
The letter partly reads “We write to formally inform you that the meet-and-greet earlier scheduled for this morning at the Aafin Awujale has been cancelled.
“Accordingly, the Awujale nominees are hereby directed to report to the Department of State Services (DSS) office located at State Security Service (SSS) Along NTA Road, Beside the State Psychiatric Hospital, Off Igbeba Road, Ijebu-Ode. Time: 11:00 a.m. prompt.
