The investigative journalist and activist, Kemi Olunloyo has criticised the recently concluded Ojude Oba Festival.
Gatekeepers News that the journalist took to her official X account to slam the Governor of Ogun state for alledgelly making the event a priority.
Giving a speech during the 2024 Ojude Oba festival on Tuesday, Dapo Abiodun promised to make the Ojude Oba celebration a global event.
Subsequently, Olunloyo stated that the event was a waste of time, and urged the governor to focus on more pressing concerns such as putting an end to cultism and rituals, which have become a problem in the state.
She posted, “What the hell is Ojude festival? Empty hype. Dapo Abiodun wants to make it global. A big joke. All I see is a bunch of stingy people “Ijebus” sitting down in a stadium wearing all sorts of Aso Ebi. What exactly are they watching in that stadium? No one is interested in your excessive fashion parade. Feed the people, stop the ritualists and educate the youth to stay away from money rituals and cultism.”
Ojude Oba is done yearly, on the third day of Eid-el-Kabir. Indigenes gather in Ijebu Ode to pay respect to the King, Alaiyeluwa Oba (Dr.) Sikiru Adetona, Ogbagba II, Awujale, and paramount monarch of Ijebuland.
