Let’s work together to make our nation safer — Mark

Senate President David Mark has sent a message of felicitation to Nigerians as they joined the rest of the World to celebrate this year’s Easter. A statement issued by his spokesman Paul Mumeh, said Mark prayed that the peace, joy and forgiveness which the season of Easter brings through the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ heal the nation now and beyond.

Senator Mark in the goodwill message to commemorate the season thanked Nigerians for their perseverance and resoluteness to remain one peaceful and united nation in spite of the challenges.

He, however, called for sober reflection on the Nigerian state against the backdrop of the unabating security threats in the land.

He pointed out that “there is an answer to the security problems in our coming together as a team to tackle the menace headlong.

“There is a great wisdom in all of us both the government and the governed uniting against the forces of evil in the land. There is no mountain we cannot pull if we work together. The perpetrators of the evil acts can be brought to their kneels if we work harmoniously and honestly with a common purpose”.

Senator Mark cautioned against politicking with the security problems ravaging parts of Nigeria, stressing that the issue is beyond ethnic, religious or political affiliations “because every one is now a victim.

The President of the Senate therefore urged the citizens to cooperate with the government in the onerous task of making the state a better place.
