Ogun State reconstitutes the Awujale Interregnum Administrative Council after reporting withdrawals by some members of the body previously set up by the state government in August 2025. In the reconstitution, Ogun names a new chairman and secretary and says the move follows internal disagreement tied to the emergence of a group described as “Adele Oba Awujale.” The state also presents its actions as necessary to keep administration of the stool’s interim arrangements on track.
Daily Post Nigeria and Premium Times Nigeria describe Ogun’s position that the “Adele Oba” group has no legal or customary recognition. In contrast, Punch reports that Ijebu chiefs dissolve the interim council and inaugurate a new body aligned with “Adele Oba Awujale,” framing this as chiefs’ own action to manage affairs in Ijebu-Ode. Across outlets, the dispute centres on who has legitimate authority to oversee the interim arrangements for the Awujale stool.
