Speaking with journalists in Lagos, Elegushi, who is also the Opemoluwa of Ikate kingdom, emphasised the importance of educating children about their cultural heritage.

Elegushi urged President Bola Tinubu and the National Assembly to recognise August 20 as a national holiday for traditional worshipers.

He also proposed the establishment of a National Traditional Religion Commission akin to the Hajj Commission and the Christian Pilgrims Commission.

Elegushi praised the South West governors for declaring August 20 as a public holiday to celebrate Isese Day, commending the Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu and other regional leaders for their support.
