The coordinator of the carnival association, Mr. Ifraimu Dauda Ushafa, while briefing newsmen at the Bwari office of the association said the carnival became necessary in order to bridge the gap that exists among the Gbaygi people.
“Peace, unity, and development are the major objectives of the association,” he said. “The association thought it important to use the Gbagyi culture as an instrument to bring about achieving such a Herculean task.”
Similarly, the spokesperson of the association, Mr Obed Nuhu Nana, in a statement, said the concept was borne out of the desire to bring together all the Gbagyi speaking people across five states of the country together to celebrate their culture.
The carnival begins of 31 May.
