Other lawmakers who spoke in favour of the resolution stated that the Isese traditional Day event would enhance Yoruba land’s traditional legacy.

The Speaker, Olakunle Oluomo (APC – Ifo I), stated in his remarks that the Cultural Day would allow parents to pass on the culture and traditions of the kingdom to the younger generation.

“Isese is a Yoruba name that tells us what we inherited from our parents and it’s also a way to continually promote culture and tradition so they do not go into extinction,” he said.
