President Bola Tinubu on Saturday made a striking appearance at the Tafawa Balewa Square, TBS, Lagos, as he joined residents and visitors in celebrating the ongoing Eyo Festival.
The President’s presence added colour and significance to the cultural event, which had not been staged since 2017.
In keeping with tradition, Tinubu was dressed entirely in white, the symbolic colour of the festival.
He completed the look with a black Akete cap decorated with white stripes and star motifs, while a black-and-white fabric was elegantly draped over his shoulder.
He was warmly received on arrival at the venue by Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and his deputy, Obafemi Hamzat.
Festivities at the square featured vibrant processions, drawing large crowds of residents, tourists and cultural enthusiasts.
The Eyo Festival is renowned for its distinctive white-robed masquerades, traditional chants and spirited dances, all of which reflect deep-rooted Yoruba cultural heritage and symbolism.
