Prince Olufeko: Why I Stand Out Among Other Contestants For The Throne Of Awujale Of Ijebu Land

As a direct descendant of the Jádíárà royal line, I come forward not only with legitimate ancestral claim, but with rare professional competence, modern leadership capacity, and a proven record of service that distinguishes me clearly from all other aspirants.
1. A Modern, Highly Skilled Professional Leader
I am a lawyer, Chartered Arbitrator, certified Mediator, and dispute-resolution specialist with national and international exposure.
These skills are invaluable because the Awujale is not only a cultural monarch — he is a bridge-builder, a custodian of peace, and a leader who must manage diverse interests, institutions, and communities.
2 Unmatched Expertise in Conflict ResolutionIn contemporary governance, traditional rulers who succeed are those who can:
end disputes without violence,
mediate between government and community,resolve intra-family and inter-community tensions, and
protect communal land and heritage.
My professional discipline gives me a unique advantage that no other contender possesses at the same level.I bring technical mastery of arbitration, mediation, negotiation, and peace diplomacy — the core tools needed to preserve stability in Ijebu land.
3. Reputation for Integrity, Fairness, and Wisdom
A Chartered Arbitrator must demonstrate:
impartiality,
integrity,
confidentiality, and
sound judgment.
These qualities are also the exact attributes expected of an Awujale.I stand out because my character, ethics, and professional certification reinforce my fitness for the throne.
4. Development-Oriented Vision and Global Exposure
Ijebu land needs a monarch who can:attract investment,
engage global institutions,
inspire economic growth,
negotiate favourable development partnerships, and
protect the interests of the people in a changing world.
My exposure in law, governance, international dispute resolution, and institutional leadership places me in the best position to bring development-oriented ideas and translate them into real benefits for Ijebu people.
5. Deep Community Roots and a Servant-Leader Mindset
Despite my professional accomplishments, I remain deeply connected to:
the culture,
the family heritage,
the ancestors,
the community, and the values that define Ijebu identity.I combine modern competence with traditional wisdom, ensuring continuity, dignity, and progress.
6. A Direct, Unbroken Royal Lineage — Senior and Authentic
gives me:
seniority of bloodline,
clarity of lineage,
and legitimacy rooted in history and culture.
This combination of ancestral right and professional excellence places me in a uniquely superior position.
Note well that I stand out because I bring what others cannot combine:heritage + integrity + modern leadership + professional excellence + development capacity.
I am not just prepared to wear the crown —
I am prepared to lead, unite, protect, and elevate Ijebu land for the next generation.
