As a means of ensuring peace and safety in the Calabar South Local Government Area of Cross River State, the Calabar south council chairman Hon. Mrs. Esther Bassey has flagged off the Calabar peace festival tagged #yak emem odu (which means let there be peace)
Speaking at the flag off session which took place today at the Calabar south council, Hon. Bassey said the flag off of the peace festival became necessary following the aftermath of the #EndSARS Protest in the state.
She therefore called on the youths to drop their arms and join in this festival by displaying their talents in different cultures as participants will be awarded immensely.
Also speaking at the festival of peace flag off, the secretary to the council Mr. Francis Ironbar while commending the youth for their initiative enjoined all men and women in the state to participate in this peaceful festival which he believes will restore the peace and order in the state at large.
