Fagbemi made the appeal during the Kwara South Summit held at Ajase-Ipo in Irepodun local government area of the state.

At the end of summit, the people of Kwara south agreed to support Kwara north to produce the next governor of the state.

The people agreed that the governorship seat should be ceded to Kwara north in the interest of equity and fairness, noting that the last time the northern district produced a state governor was in 1991.

The APC chairman commended Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq for promoting equity and fairness in the state.

Cross River State governor, Bassey Otu, has commended the revelers for being part of the  Calabar Carnival which he described as the largest African street party.

He  said the event would bring economic, social and cultural prosperity to the state and the nation at large.

Otu made the remarks while flagging off the 2024 edition of the carnival in Calabar yesterday.

Otu who spoke on the theme: “Our Shared Prosperity,” stated,  “This year’s carnival  is actually international in nature because we have the global audience here, people of all continents.

“It is to tell everyone that there is need to bring the economic, social and cultural prosperity into what we are doing so that our people will share.

He added that he was humbled to be celebrating about two decades of the carnival, lauding the three erstwhile  governors of the state for holding on to what former governor Donald Duke started.

Otu said a new band called Diaspora Band may be added in future to cater for the people in the Diaspora.

Wife of former president, Hajia Aisha Buhari, and her children along with Kwara and Kogi state  governors, AbdulRahman AbdulRasaq and Usman Ododo, as well as European Union and United Nations representatives graced the carnival.

In his remarks, Kwara Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRasaq, praised Gov  Bassey Otu for sustaining and adding more creativity and style to the event.

He said the event puts Nigeria on the map as it is a global event and improves the state’s internally generated revenue.

Chairman of the Carnival Commission, Mr. Gab Onah, said they had laboured since the start of the millennium to change the story, stressing that they were beginning to see the fruits.

 

Onah said this year’s event was another testimony of their humble effort to unite the world, give love and help foster peaceful coexistence.
