Photos from the 1st Dry run In Calabar ahead of the Calabar Festival

Preparations for Calabar Carnival, Africa’s biggest street party kicked off on Sunday with Cross River State governor, Senator Ben Ayade and Minister for Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed flagging off the first in a series dry runs for the year.

Speaking at the Millennium park, Calabar, venue of the flag off which attracted a range of carnival revelers and spectators alike from within and away from the Federal Government is going to do all it could to simply help their state take the carnival to the next level.

The Minister who was represented by the Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Deaconess Grace Isu Gekpe said: “We are ready to work with you to ensure we take Calabar Carnival from where it is to higher grounds and I want to see all Nigerian made products being promoted through this platform because that is the policy of President Mohammadu Buhari’s administration.”

According to Mohammed, “let us have some Nigerian fabrics infused into our costumes and I know we will be able to patronise the producers of these products so that they will all be empowered.”
A Facebook user, Francisca Nyong also shared some photos from the First Dry run. She captioned it; I cant express through words, the anger i felt when i saw ords, the anger i felt when i saw these photos, These are some of the photos from the First Dry run In Calabar that was held on Sunday.

now it has totally gotten out of hand, is this what the carnival is about now? are our kids & younger siblings safe?
