The lawmaker gave the charge during the recently concluded 2025 Epe’s Ojude Oba Festival, which was held at King Kosoko Enbarkment Centre Marina, Epe, Lagos.
This year’s edition of Epe’s Ojude Oba coincided with the special prayer organised for the late Olu-Epe, Oba Shefiu Adewale.
Hon. Raji in his address, noted that the past monarchs of Epe advocated for the preservation of three things in Epe land, which are the throne, religion (Islam), and kayokayo (tradition & culture).
While applauding former Governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode for elevating the throne from second class to first class, Hon. Raji said the Central Mosque is a symbol of the religion.
