public holiday to commemorate the annual Isese festival by
traditionalists in the state.
This was contained in a press release signed by the Commissioner for
Home Affairs, Dr Adebisi Obawale.
He explained that Isese Day was a public holiday set aside for
traditional believers in the state by Governor Rauf Aregbesola's
administration.
According to him, the holiday was in recognition of the annual Isese
festival's grand finale, which allows the adherents of traditional
religion to come together for the annual celebration.
"Also known as Traditional Worshipers Day, Isese Day is the
celebration of the peak of festivities among adherents of traditional
religion.
"The government enjoined all the traditional believers to celebrate
the Isese day in peace and avoid any act capable of breaching the
peace of the state", the statement read.
