“Please save the date and be part of the program and conscientious effort to rewrite, recalibrate and project the potential of our community from the prism of our culture,” the statement read.
Having lifted the veil of the festival, revealing a grand celebration that will captivate hearts and souls alike, with bated breath, the entire Epe kingdom embarks upon a journey of cultural splendor and enchantment, guided by the regal hand of the highly revered Olu-Epe, HRM Oba Dr. Shefiu Adewale.
