Recall that the musician had shown his interest in the vacant stool of Awujale, linking his lineage to the Jadiara Royal House of the wider Fusengbuwa Ruling House. The Fusengbuwa ruling house, which is the ruling house to produce the next Awujale, had, however, rejected the claim, saying that Wasiu Ayinde is not from the royal house. The musician is commonly believed to be from the Fidipote ruling house of Ijebu Ode, and this he had always alluded to in his music. However, giving his ruling on the application for the interim injunction order on Monday, the presiding judge, Justice A. A. Omoniyi, held that the interim injunction prayed for by the applicant lacked merit.
