The 2024 edition of Ogun State’s festival of color, Ojude Oba, is currently taking place at the Oba Sikiru Adetona pavilion in Ijebu-Ode, within the Ijebu Ode local government area.
For over a decade, the festival has served as a unifying event for Ijebu sons and daughters, providing an opportunity to honor the Awujale and Paramount ruler of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Adetona, for his exemplary leadership.
The festival also fosters collaboration in the socio-economic and political advancement of the ancient town.
This year’s event is graced by the presence of Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun, members of the state executive council, the Awujale of Ijebuland Oba Sikiru Adetona and his wife, the Ogbeni Oja of Ijebuland Chief Sunny Kuku, industry leaders, tourists, and other distinguished personalities.
Approximately 76 different age groups are expected to pay homage to the traditional ruler, expressing their loyalty and respect for the monarch.
Former governor of the state, Olusegun Osoba, and the senator representing the Ogun-East Senatorial district, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, are also in attendance.
