Amagbein equally pledged his support to the Tinubu-led Federal Government and prayed God to protect the lives of military men and women who are out there to serve their fatherland.
He urged Nigerians to keep their hope alive and expect nothing but the best in the year 2026.
The ex-agitator, who wished the government and Nigerians a fruitful year 2026, said there was no limit to what they can achieved if they believed it could be done.
He sent special greetings to President Tinubu and members and leadership of the National Assembly for their wisdom in keeping the country together in spite of the daunting challenges facing the nation.
He said ”the New Year is another opportunity for the citizens and the leadership of the country to support one another and commit themselves to things that promote peace and unity.”
He also congratulated the Minister of Defence, retired Gen. Christopher Musa , Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Olufemi Oluyede; DSS Director-General, Adeola Ajayi, and other service chiefs for their selfless services and dedication to defending the sovereignty of Nigeria and for keeping the nation safe and peaceful.
He prayed God Almighty to strengthen them to do more this year.
Amagbein, also known as “Adaka Boro” the Second, extended his warm wishes to the Commanding Officers of 5 Battalion Elele, Port Harcourt; the 16 Brigade, Yenagoa, and the Director of DSS in Bayelsa, including the Central Naval Command Headquarters, Yenagoa, and the Joint Task Force (JTF) Operation Delta Safe for keeping peace and securing lives and property.
He also sent his wishes to the government and good people of Bayelsa State led by Gov. Douye Diri, saying that his prayers are that the new year will be favourable to everyone.
He used the opportunity to advice Nigerians to desist from everything which does not promote peace and unity.
According to him, 2026 is a year for people to make conscious efforts towards making life easier, better and more meaningful to people.(NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
