The sensation of the moment Oba Babatunde Saliu ìn company of his royal family moved from one tent to another flipping his royal horse tail at guests, friends and colleagues in a show of appreciation.


In one of the memorable moments of the occasion, the Oloworo of Oworo and his beautiful wife, Olori Bukola Saliu joined other members of the royal family to dance to the rave song of the moment "Buga" rendered by an invited local musician.


But before revelry was let loose, a conclave of traditional fraternity consisting of men and women from across Lagos State had gathered at the palace of Oloworo of Oworo to bless his reign and also give a seal of traditional approval.


The traditional cult group who were 17 in number and dressed in immaculate white clothes with other paraphernalia prayed for the protection, peace and long reign of the Oloworo and his royal family on the stool.


The convergence of the traditional fraternity group on the Ije celebration once again vividly proved that Oba Babatunde Saliu enjoys the total support and backing of the people of the esoteric world.


Oba Babatunde Saliu it will be recalled was installed as the new King of Oworonshoki Kingdom on June 15 2022 and was immediately given a certificate and staff of office by the Lagos state government.
