Fusengbuwa Ruling House: Only Genuine Tunwase Members Are With Us – Ajidagba, Adeyemi Declare

The leadership of the Fusengbuwa Ruling House in Ijebu-Ode has debunked reports suggesting divisions within the Tunwase lineage, insisting that only the genuine Tunwase descendants are recognized as part of the royal house.

At a press briefing held on Friday at the residence of the Olori-Ebi, Otunba Adedokun Ajidagba, he was joined by Prince Adeleke Adeyemi, secretary of the Fusengbuwa Ruling House and general secretary to the four ruling houses in Ijebu-Ode. The duo jointly countered recent remarks credited to Chief Adetokunbo Fassy Yusuf at a media parley in Tunwase Museum and Hall, Olode, Ijebu-Ode.

Ajidagba described Yusuf’s position as a distraction, noting that the recent unification ceremony of two factions in Idowa, later presented to the Afobajes at the Awujale’s palace, duly recognized all ruling families, including Tunwase.

“Let me set the records straight: the Tunwase lineage has existed for over 120 years, actively participating in our meetings and family engagements as a recognized branch of the Fusengbuwa Ruling House. No outsider, as being claimed, has ever been part of this lineage,” Ajidagba said.

Prince Adeyemi reinforced this stance, stressing that membership of the Fusengbuwa Ruling House and the Tunwase branch is strictly by royal blood, not by association or personal claims.

He dismissed Yusuf’s assertions as baseless, challenging him to provide historical proof of ties to the dynasty.

“Mr. Fassy Yusuf’s attempts to link himself to our royal dynasty lack any foundation. He has no ancestral ties to the Fusengbuwa Ruling House or the Tunwase lineage. I dare them to visit Ile-Nla Agunsenbi Quarters in Ijebu-Ode and identify any ancestral house belonging to their forebears or show evidence of their involvement in Fusengbuwa affairs before recent years,” Adeyemi declared.

The royal leaders urged the public to disregard misleading narratives, emphasizing that the Tunwase royal family remains an inseparable and authentic branch of the Fusengbuwa Ruling House in Ijebu-Ode.
