Traditional worshipers submit a message to the government requesting a public holiday for their faith.
Traditionalists have demanded a national holiday for their religion.
The adherents of the African Traditional Religion have requested an annual public holiday for their faith.
A group of individuals who adhere to their tribe's indigenous religion have petitioned the Federal Government of Nigeria to grant them at least one annual public holiday.
Their point is that, among the three main religions in Nigeria, Christians have Christmas and Easter as public holidays, Muslims have Eid Al Fitr and Eid Al Adha as public holidays, but those who follow the indigenous religion of their tribes have none.
They have therefore proposed August 20 as the date for their annual public with the expectation that the Federal Government will heed their request and make it official.
