Nigerian Man Elected Into Public Office In US Rocks 'Agbada' Outfit To Inauguration...(PHOTO)



A Nigerian man, Will Jawando, who was elected into the Montgomery County Council in the United States (US), has proudly rocked an 'Agbada' outfit to his inauguration. 

The young Nigerian US-based politician wore the popular Nigerian attire "Agbada" to his swearing-in-ceremony in bid to promote the African culture. 

Born to a Nigerian father and an American mother from Kansas, Jawando is a US-based attorney. 

Will, in a circulated video shared by the Nigerians In Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) on the popular micro-blogging "Twitter", explained that he wore the symbolic African attire to his inauguration. 

Will in his words said;

“We all come from different culture, it’s really important that we respect our differences even if those differences come in ways we don’t anticipate or even understand.


“So by wearing this agbada, this traditional West African clothing in a public setting to take the public oath of office, it’s part of a bigger and public dialogue that I think it’s needed if we are to understand and respect our differences and move forward.”
