The 2018 edition of the Ekinrin Adde Day celebration has promised to be an epoch making event as all great and creative hands are on deck working round the clock to add bankable value to perfect the ongoing plans, notably on the high gear to rev in to a great new vista of socio cultural and economic development of the Ekinrin- Adde community in Ijumu local government area of Kogi state through a first of its kind all day show stopper 2-in-1 event on Saturday 23rd June 2018 for the official coronation of new king HRH Oba Anthony Bamigbaiye Idowu ACA Ahe Maworo 1 as the Olu Adde of Ekinrin Adde Land.
According to a press statement, the planning committee gladly communicates to all Ekinrin-Adde indigenes, friends and honourary chieftaincy title holders at no better time than the same day to celebrate the 25th Ekinrin Adde Day with a N200,000,000 special development fund raising event under the distinguished chairmanship of Hon . Segun Soname CEO Bet9ja and Hon. James Abiodun Faleke as the special host at the Baptist High School field along Kabba- Omuo oke Ekiti federal highway.
Funds realized will be strictly channelled towards the completion of the ultra modern palace for the new Oba and indeed a communal heritage for the future generations to the proud of and enhance in tandem with the dictates of their own time. The palace promises to be another first of its kind project in Okun land if not the entire old Kabba division.
The event, however, promises to be a melting pot for the top society personalities across political, career, religious and tribal divides to mix, mingle and network for the good of all and the community. All sorts of trado-social side attractions ranging from a mock traditional marriage ceremony, Adan dance, masquerading and hunters dance will be to the nostalgic delight of visitors and participants.
As a prelude to the big day, there was a Special Coronation dinner in Abuja to showcase the rich cultural heritage and warm hospitality of Ekinrin Adde community.
A water tight security arrangement has perfected for the safety of lives and properties before, during and after the epoch making program.
According to the planning committee, the community is however most open to willing individual and corporate partnership to sponsor the event.
