At the celebration of 2025 Isese Day held at the Lekan Salami Stadium, Adamasingba, Ibadan, the traditionalists, clad in their distinctive white attires and regalia, marked the occasion with reverence and joy, as they celebrated the Yoruba tradition and paid tributes to Governor Makinde.

The Isese Day, also known as the ‘Traditional Worshipers Day’, is an annual celebration to showcase the rich cultural heritage and traditional beliefs of the Yoruba people.

August 20 has been set aside for traditionalists to gather for prayers, perform rituals, and express gratitude to the deities (Orishas) that are central to their faith.

This year’s Isese Day celebration in Oyo State was particularly special, as the traditionalists publicly acknowledged and appreciated Governor Makinde for his unwavering support and commitment to promoting and preserving their traditional practices.

In a symbolic gesture, the traditionalists jointly christened the governor as “Orisaseyi Omimakinde,” which translates to “the traditionalists’ oracle of prosperity.”
