The Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Adams, the Oloro of Oro Kingdom in Kwara State, Oba Joel Oyatoye, and the Olora of Ora Kingdom, Oba Rilwan Yekini, have called on Nigerians in the Diaspora to prioritise the preservation of their culture as a means of sustaining their identity and promoting unity.
The traditional leaders made the call while addressing members of the Yoruba community during the 10th anniversary celebration of the Oodua Progressive Union (OPU) Canada.
In his keynote address, Iba Adams, who was represented by the Secretary-General Worldwide of OPU, Alhaji Luqman Adedire, urged members of the union to renew their commitment to unity, education and community development.
The Aare Ona Kakanfo, who is also the Global Convener of OPU, described the 10th anniversary as more than a celebration of time, saying it was a testament to the resilience, unity and commitment of Yoruba sons and daughters in Canada.
