Aisha made her entrance on Saturday, stunning in a graceful long-sleeved floral-patterned dress featuring soft pastel hues of lavender, pink, and cream.
She accessorized with a wide-brimmed pink hat, elegant jewelry, and a shawl draped over her shoulders, adding a touch of glamour to the occasion.
Other prominent figures in attendance included Bassey Otu, Governor of Cross River State; AbdulRahman AbdulRasaq, Governor of Kwara State; and Ahmed Usman Ododo, Governor of Kogi State. Representatives from the European Union and the United Nations were also present.
During the event, Governor Otu praised this year’s theme, calling it “internationally engaging” given the festival’s global appeal. He further emphasized the importance of fostering economic, social, and cultural prosperity to benefit the people.
“The theme of this year is ‘Our Shared Prosperity.’ That shared prosperity is actually internationally engaging because we have the global audience right here; we have people from all continents of the world right here,” he said.
“There is a need to build economic, social, and cultural prosperity into what we are doing for our people to share.”
