Princess Katrina Ssangalyambogo of Buganda greets King Oyo at a past event.The King of Toro, Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru has turned 20 today and his birthday will be privately celebrated in the UK, the kingdom’s information minister, Arthur Namara says.
Oyo ascended to the throne when he was only three years old after the death of his father, Patrick Olimi Kaboyo.
However, as has always been the case, Oyo is not celebrating his 20th birthday with his subjects because he is away studying.
Namara said the king is busy with studies at Manchester University in the UK and the queen mother, Best Kemigisa, flew out recently to prepare a private party for him.
He, however, said it will be a closed party. King Oyo’s sister, Ruth Komuntale, will be among the people in attendance.
Namara said the king’s subjects in Toro will only congratulate him in October when he comes back to celebrate Empango.
“We cannot combine the two functions of Empango and his birthday, but we shall congratulate him upon making 20 years,” Namara added.
Oyo was born on 16 April 1992 to King Patrick David Mathew Kaboyo Olimi III and Queen Best Kemigisa Kaboyo and he is the 12th ruler of the 180-year old Kingdom of Toro.
