Social Democratic Party SDP presidential candidate Prince Adewole Adebayo has expressed his joy and happiness to President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda and the Omukama of Bunyoro-Kitama Kingdom, His Majesty Solomon Iguru for keeping their culture, and more importantly, making it an annual celebration even in far away Washington DC, USA.
Adebayo, a Prince of the Osemawe Kingdom in Ondo State was special guest of the celebration.
He said he was extremely happy that despite technology and even far way from their country, the Omukama of Bunyoro-Kitama is still being celebrating which according to him, is an indication of the seriousness the people of Uganda attached to their culture.
“I want every African to emulate the omukama of bunyoro-kitama culture, because before the Whitemen came, there was a country an there was a culture. I am happy that we still remember the heritage of our ancestors.
“I am happy that here in Washington DC, you can still celebrate this culture and I believe that other African countries and cultures would have learnt one or two from this celebration.
“I think there is need for every African culture to be celebrated in where ever Africans may find themselves. The culture is who we are and it should be celebrated every now and then”, he stated.
