Mr Agbetuyi, who led a delegation of Usi Victory Club members to the Tribune House Imalefalafia, Ibadan recently, said “the 31st Usi Day celebration is going to be a carnival which will shake Ekiti State. We are introducing carnival procession into the event. This is going to be the first of its kind in Ekiti.”

He remarked that,” Our visit to the Nigerian Tribune is to commend the Tribune Management and the entire staff especially the Editorial crew for the past support and encouragement given during the celebration of Usi day. We have seen in the Usi Palace record copious evidence of support and spotlight which the Tribune has given Usi day celebration. We are here to show our gratitude on behalf of every indigene of Usi-Ekiti.
