Nigeria’s former First Lady, Aisha Buhari, made a remarkable appearance at the 2024 Calabar Carnival Street Party on Saturday, radiating elegance and style. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

Her presence added a touch of sophistication to the vibrant celebration, renowned for its colorful costumes, energetic performances, and lively atmosphere. Dressed in a flawless pink ensemble, Mrs. Buhari looked graceful as she sat in the VIP section with other distinguished guests. She enjoyed the performances from both competitive and non-competitive bands, which captivated the audience with their creativity. Her participation highlighted her commitment to promoting Nigerian culture.

Also in attendance were Mrs. Buhari’s children, Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRasaq, Kogi State Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo, former Cross River State Governor Donald Duke, Minister of State for Industry, Trade, and Investment Senator John Owan Enoh, and Senator Asuquo Ekpenyong, representing Cross River South Senatorial District.

International diplomats from organizations such as the United Nations and the European Union also graced the event. During the flag-off ceremony at Millennium Park in Calabar, Cross River State Governor Prince Bassey Otu spoke about the global significance of this year’s theme, “Our Shared Prosperity,” stressing the importance of fostering economic, social, and cultural prosperity for all.

Governor Otu recognized the contributions of previous governors, including Donald Duke, Liyel Imoke, and Prof. Ben Ayade, for their roles in developing the carnival, which has grown considerably since its inception in 2004. He also outlined plans to enhance future events, such as potentially introducing a Diaspora band next year.

Kwara State Governor AbdulRasaq praised the carnival as a major global event, noting its role in boosting Nigeria’s international profile and increasing Cross River State’s internally generated revenue. He added, “This event puts Nigeria on the map, both culturally and economically, and hopefully next year, more visitors will spend time in Calabar before heading to Lagos for the holiday season.”

Kogi State Governor Ododo also commended Governor Otu’s leadership, highlighting the enthusiasm and dedication of participants and residents, which have contributed to the carnival’s success.

Agreed, Buhari put Nigeria in reverse gear, but he didn't press the accelerator. Tinubu, on the other hand, pressed the accelerator at full speed, 330 MPH, while still in reverse gear with his 'bolekaja' economic policy prescriptions that have inflicted extreme hunger and starvation on the citizens.
