Residents of Akure, Ondo State capital, have shunned the state government’s directive, refusing to open their shops and stores in observance of the traditional Aheregbe festival.
The Aheregbe festival is a traditional event observed primarily by the Paramount Ruler, the Deji, and his chiefs. During the festival, prayers are offered for the peace and progress of the land. Despite the government’s stance, the residents of Akure chose to follow the Deji’s order and refrained from opening their shops and stores.
During a visit to Erekesan Market on Aheregbe Day, it became evident that the residents had disregarded the government’s order and fully complied with the Deji’s directive. All the shops and stalls in the market were locked, and the traders were absent.
