Orlando Julius’s Widow Reveals Her Next Line Of Action On His’s First Death Anniversary

Latoya Ekemode, the widow of late musician Orlando Julius, has announced plans for the Orlando Julius Afrohouse of Highlife (OJAHH) Festival in September.

She made this statement on the first anniversary of his death.

Orlando Julius died at the age of 79 on April 14, 2022. On May 28, he was buried in Ijebu-Ijesha, Osun State.

On the one-year anniversary of Orlando Julius’ death, a tribute concert by a band was held virtually on Friday, April 14.

On the 1st year of Orlando’s ascension, I would love to thank everyone who stood by me and supported me during the hardest time of my life. You know who you are, I don’t need to name people,” she was quoted as saying by Tribune.

I’m not in Nigeria because of obvious reasons, but that doesn’t mean I am forgetting my husband o! We met in the US.

I celebrated Orlando while alive and will continue to do so. Everything Orlando and I have done has been done with taste and style and will continue to do so including the planned OJAHH Festival.

It’s important for Orlando and my admirers to know I have not and never will abandon my Husband’s legacy.

Top music industry figures such as Tony Okoroji, Dede Mabiaku, and Yinka Davies, among others, paid their respects to the legendary saxophonist and songwriter in Ijebu Ijesha last year.
