Da-Amakiri Tubo, Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Asari-Dokubo, Amanyanabo of The Source (Elem Kalabari), Dabaye Amakiri I, has issued a New Year’s goodwill message to the monarchs, chiefs, elites, and masses of the Kalabari kingdom and Kalabaris in the diaspora.
In his New Year message, he emphasised the importance of unity and peaceful coexistence among brethren in all Kalabari communities, stressing that this is crucial for development and progress.
Asari-Dokubo urged the youths to shun cultism and violent associations that harm others. Instead, he encouraged them to embrace peaceful and constructive endeavours that promote the well-being of the community.
Furthermore, he asked the professional class, elites, and the rich, both in the diaspora and in Nigeria, to return home and invest in Kalabari. He said, “Our people need to come back home to build houses here instead of buying land in other communities. I urge my fellow Kalabari brothers and sisters worldwide to set up businesses here that will boost the economy of the Kalabari Kingdom and provide jobs for our people. Our region is rich in oil and gas, with opportunities for marine transportation. There are huge possibilities for viable investments in agriculture and tourism development and many other avenues. As Amanyanabo of The Source,(Elem Kalabari) I recommit myself to the promotion, preservation and growth of everything that has to do with Kalabari like I have done for over 20 years.”
