He further noted that it will be an avenue to encourage the youths to aspire to build legacies that lives beyond them.

“I expect to see all Yorubas at the event on Saturday. I also want the world to take note of the level of commitment by our past and present heroes in Ghana while we appreciate our fathers for the good work they have done in the past. Ghana has produced a lot of notable Yorubas who have contributed to the country.

“This event is also an avenue to encourage the youths to have a great legacy and to further deepen the relationship between the Yorubas from Nigeria and Ghana.”
