The Ojude-Oha festival was celebrated in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, with the presence of the state governor, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, and other prominent Yoruba leaders. The celebration was marked by tight security and a limited homage paid to the paramount ruler, Oba Sikiru Adetona, due to the agitation for the creation of Ijebu State. The Ijebu Movement, a group advocating for the creation of Ijebu State, carried banners and placards with slogans such as "State now and be part of history." The movement believes that the creation of Ijebu State is long overdue and that the festival provides an avenue to make the call for a state.
