The Head of Funsengbuwa Ruling House, Otunba Olasubomi Balogun, has cleared the air on a grapevine flying round that he’s interested in Ijebuland kingship.

Subomi who is the Akile Ijebu denied this during the annual general meeting of the Arojojoye Ruling House of Ijebuland held at Fusengbuwa Family Museum, Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State on Monday.

According to him “I have no interest in Ijebuland kingship, Awujale of Ijebuland, Dr Sikiru Kayode Adetona is still alive and we must fear God.

“I’m contented with what I have and none of my children is eyeing any kingship even though they are boys but we are okay with what we have. It is a taboo in Yorubaland to be scheming for Oba’s successor when a reigning monarch is still alive.

“Awujale happens to be my friend and he’s the one that named me as Olori Omo-Oba in 1985 and I will never harm my fellow human being,” he said.
