Former Niger Delta ex-agitator, Endurance Amagbein, has called for calm as the country prepares for the 2027 general elections.
Amagbein, who made the call in a statement on Monday in Abuja, urged Nigerians not to give up on their beloved country, but to join the fight against the enemies of the state.
He expressed concerns over the security challenges currently plaguing the country.
Amagbein, the self-styled General, explained that Nigeria could only win the fight when citizens stand with the Federal Government, rather than fanning the embers of discord.
He said he shared the pains and plight of Nigerians, especially those kidnapped or whose relatives had been killed in the spate of insecurity.
He, however, expressed optimism that all hope is not lost, as the security agencies were making collective efforts to win the war against banditry, kidnapping, terrorism and other forms of violent crimes.
While blaming the insecurity on political interests, he alleged that “some opposition politicians are fueling the insecurity to use as campaign against the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.”
The ex-freedom fighter, fondly called Adaka Boro the Second, lamented that these same authors of insecurity were those who benefitted from President Tinubu’s administration, but later turned against the APC’s Renewed Hope Agenda because of their selfish interests.
According to Amagbein, despite the fact that the opposition is hammering on the insecurity, several terrorists and insurgent groups have been eliminated by the Federal Government.
“No one is talking about the gains made by the security agencies because bad news spreads faster than good news,” he said.
He, therefore, called on his teaming supporters to continue to queue behind the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Tinubu in the 2027 elections.
The ex-agitator, who urged Nigerians to give Tinubu more time to fix Nigeria, assured the president of his unalloyed support.
