“God did not make a mistake in putting us together in one country” – David Mark

Senate President, David Mark yesterday called on Nigerians to accept the proposed National Conference as an avenue to tackle the current security crisis in the country, especially the numerous security challenges facing the north.
 
Mark stated this in his Eid-el-Kabir message to Nigerians titled, ‘Let us make Nigeria a better place.’
The Idoma elder statesman who described the endless security challenges facing the nation as unfortunate pleaded with people of goodwill to rise up to tackle the menace.

Mark, in the statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Kola Ologbondiyan, remarked that “with the collective resolve and determination of all of us, we can solve the problem and live like one big united nation where no one is oppressed or afraid of each other.

“God did not make a mistake by putting us together in one country,” he said.

The Senate President said the current challenges facing the country had made it imperative for Nigerians to agree as a people to address their collective problems “in an open, frank and honest manner. Nobody is coming from the moon or space to solve our problems,” he said.

The platform offered by the national conference or dialogue committee, Mark added, was “a needed elixir and avenue to reconcile all misgivings.”

Mark however called on all Nigerians to take advantage of the national conference to present their positions so that “we can continue to live in peace and be united like a people with a common mission and purpose.”
“We should therefore use our strength and God given potential for good in spite of the challenges,” he added.
