Held annually on the third day after Eid-el-Kabir, Ojude Oba remains one of Nigeria’s most prominent cultural festivals, drawing thousands of participants and spectators from within and outside the country.
The festival traditionally attracts top politicians, celebrities, business leaders and members of the Ijebu diaspora, all converging in Ijebu-Ode to honour the Awujale and celebrate Ijebu heritage, unity and identity.
This year’s festival is being held without a substantive Awujale on the traditional stool.
