On Sunday (15 Oct 2023), the Governor of Cross River State, Senator Bassey Otu flagged off his first-ever Carnival Calabar Dry Run.
The 2023 Carnival Calabar will also be Bassey Otu’s first carnival since being elected and sworn in as the 15th Governor of Cross River in May 2023.
The theme of this year’s carnival as chosen by Governor Otu is christened “Season of Sweetness”.
While flagging off the first dry run, Governor Otu said: “We are going to have the best Carnival that this country has ever seen this year.
“We are ready and all the service commanders are here and what that means is that we are ready.
“So, we are sending a message to our friends out there in America, London, Brazil, Trinidad and Tobago that their security is safe in Cross River. We are ready, very ready to host you, ready to welcome you because this year’s Carnival will be the best in the world.”
