Multiple reports say 10-year-old Princess Alimot Moredeke Ajoke Osunbunmi has been selected as the Arugba for the 2026 Osun-Osogbo Festival. Sources describe the Arugba as the festival’s lead figure, taking part in the procession tied to the worship and cultural traditions associated with Osun. The outlets also explain that, because of her young age, Princess Alimot leads the procession without carrying the calabash, a detail presented as part of how her role is adapted for a child. Both articles frame her selection as significant to the festival arrangements for 2026 and highlight the sacred nature of the Arugba position. While the reports focus mainly on her identity and the particulars of how she will participate, they do not provide further details on the broader programme, dates, or other officials involved. Overall, the coverage centers on the appointment of Princess Alimot as the festival’s Arugba and on the specific way her participation reflects her age and the traditions of the procession.
