The 2024 edition of Ogun State’s festival of colour, Ojude Oba, is currently ongoing at the Oba Sikiru Adetona pavilion in Ijebu-Ode, Ijebuode local government area.
In its more than a decade of existence, the festival has served as a rallying point for Ijebu boys and daughters to express their gratitude to Oba Sikiru Adetona, the Awujale and Paramount ruler of Ijebuland, for his purposeful leadership.
It has also promoted cooperation in the old town’s socioeconomic and political development.
This year’s festival will be attended by the Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, members of the state executive council, the Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Adetona; his wife, the Ogbeni Oja of Ijebuland; chief Sunny Kuku, industry captains, and tourists, among other notable figures.
Approximately 76 various age groups are expected to pay homage to the traditional ruler to demonstrate their devotion and respect for the king.
Olusegun Osoba, the former governor of the state, and Senator Otunba Gbenga Daniel, who represents the state’s Ogun-East Senatorial district, were also in attendance.
