OWOROSHOKI YOUTH MARCH IN SUPPORT OF NEW MONARCH, OBA BABATUNDE SALIU AS HE CELEBRATES 14-DAY ASCENSION TO THE THRONE 

It was a carnival-like atmosphere yesterday at Oworonshoki as the youth of the town took to the streets in support of the new monarch Oba Babatunde Saliu (Elebi II) as he celebrated 14-day ascension to the throne of his ancestors.
The Youth under the aegis of Oworonshoki Indigenous Youth had stormed the palace of Oba Babatunde Saliu to pledge their allegiance before proceeding to march through the town.

Joined by the Wife of Oloworo of Oworo, Olori Bukola Saliu and some other notable members of Bashir Oloruntoyin Royal Family, the procession slithered through major streets of Oworonshoki such as Miyaki, Oworo road, Elebo, Surulere and back to the palace dancing and singing to the delight of the residents of the community.
As the calvacade moved through the streets with the staff of Office of Oloworo of Oworonshoki Kingdom residents in response waved in sheer delight.

In a chat with Kosofe Reporters, one of the  palace Chiefs who is also a member of  Oworonshoki Indigenous Youth, Chief Arẹmu Idris Hassan explained that the essence of the long procession of the youth through the streets was to celebrate what is called "Erinla" in Yoruba parlance ( the 14-day ascension to the throne after King's seclusion).

He explained that "Erinla" is celebrated by by offering special prayers at specific spiritual points of note in the town and by walking through the streets of the town to rejoice with residents and indigenes on the ascension to the throne of the new monarch.

Meanwhile, the people of Oworonshoki land continued to revel in the installation of Oba Babatunde Saliu as the new Oloworo of Oworonshoki Kingdom as they celebrated his 14 -day ascension to the throne of his ancestors on Tuesday.
The palace of the Oloworo was agog with residents, community leaders, traders, friends and colleagues of Oba Babatunde Saliu who had to rejoice over his kingship.

Like "Ije" celebration which was held last week, members of Yoruba traditional fraternity were at the palace of the King once again to offer special traditional prayers while guests were treated to delicious food and sweet music.

A popular local Fuji musician Seun Afọlábí popularly known as "Igwe two" performed live at the event.
