The Minister of Art, Culture, Tourism, and Creative Economy, Hannatu Musawa, adorned in beautiful cultural attire and headgear, has stepped out for the popular Ojude Oba festival in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State.
In a video shared by an X (formerly Twitter) user, #Theresa Tekenah, on Sunday, the minister, in the company of two other women, marched elegantly side by side.
Recall that the popular Ojude Oba festival is held annually on the third day after Eid-al-Adha.
The festival is a revered celebration in honour of the Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona.
The roots of the festival can be traced back to the 19th century when Islam began spreading among the Ijebu people.
The festival is a vibrant showcase of Ijebu culture and Yoruba traditions where thousands gather to witness the elegantly dressed attendees in traditional outfits such as Agbada, Iro, and Buba, made from exquisite fabrics like Aso Oke, Sanyan, and Adire.
