“The beneficiaries of this party were very happy as I could see obvious smiles on their faces and indeed they really had fun which is our joy too to make them happy.
“I want to sincerely appreciate the sponsors of this event, the Edi-Abali of Kalabari Kingdom, Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo Asari and High Chief Sobomabo Jackrich whose immense support helped to make this gathering a huge success.
