The Lagos State Governorship candidate of the Labour Party, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, has debunked there is going to be Oro festival in some communities in the state on Saturday 18 March.
The LP candidate, who raised concern said that some traditional rulers, the Baale of Ijegun, the traditional ruler of the Ikate-Elegushi Kingdom, and others have declared Oro festival that will begin today (Wednesday) and run till Saturday, said the report is unconfirmed.
Rhodes-Vivour, who addressed Lagosian in a video said the unconfirmed directive is a plot to scare and intimidate voters.
Meanwhile, Oba Saheed Ademola Elegushi of the Ikate-Elegushi Kingdom in Lagos State said the March 2023 Oro festival would not affect the governorship elections slated to be held on Saturday, March 18, 2023.
The monarch confirmed this to The Punch in Abuja, on Wednesday.
