Early guests have begun arriving for the 2026 Ojude Oba Festival in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, appearing in colourful and coordinated traditional outfits ahead of the annual cultural celebration.

Photos captured by Vanguard showed groups dressed in richly embroidered attires, including flowing agbadas, elegant geles, and intricately beaded accessories.

The festival, celebrated on the third day after Eid-el-Kabir, is one of Nigeria’s most prominent cultural events, attracting thousands of visitors yearly.
