THE Ifa Orisha Council of Trinidad and Tobago has launched a petition calling for a public holiday in the first week of June, saying followers deserve the same national recognition granted to other religious groups.
In an effort to begin that conversation, the council's chief Shaka Alexander started an online petition seeking a national holiday.
Speaking to the Express in a phone interview, Alexander said he hopes the petition gains the attention of Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar and Culture Minister Michelle Benjamin.
