“We cannot thank you enough for your consistent prayers, understanding, sacrifices and unconditional support and encouragement throughout 2016.

“It is clear that without your support, we could have been vanquished by the political and economic predators who sought to conquer and enslave us,’’ the governor said.

He said: “We will hugely need your support to harness the opportunities.

“As the New Year beacons with fresh opportunities, ours is to renew our commitment and vigour to serve you and deliver on our reconstruction and development programmes.

“We urge Rivers people to be hopeful in the new year, hope for a better state, a better future, more progress and more wellbeing for our people.’
