The annual Oguaa Fetu Afahye, one of Africa’s most revered cultural festivals, will serve as the backdrop for this historic meeting of crowns. The presence of the Warri monarch and his consort is expected to strengthen cultural ties between Nigeria and Ghana while reaffirming the enduring relevance of traditional institutions across the continent.
Organisers say the participation of the Olu of Warri is more than symbolic. From the oil-rich waters of Warri to the ancestral shores of Cape Coast, his journey represents a bridge uniting kingdoms and celebrating a shared heritage. “This visit reminds us that Africa is not merely a continent of subjects but of kings,” the statement reads.
The festival will not only highlight the rich traditions of Cape Coast but also underscore a broader mission: preserving kingship as a cornerstone of African identity, reinforcing bonds across nations, and affirming that true royalty is not a relic of the past but a living institution shaping the future.
