Senator Mark, therefore urged citizens to shun those mundane issues of religious and ethnic inclinations that tends to put asunder to the peace and national unity .

The former Senate helmsman in a good will message to Nigerians on the new year signed by his Special Adviser, Paul Mumeh , noted that the nation has gone through turbulent times in the recent past , a situation he said must of a necessity be reversed for good.

“ The grim reality is that the harsh economy, insecurity in the land and political crises are taking a huge toll on the citizens. The deterioration is unacceptable and cannot continue”, he stated.

 

Senator Mark stressed “We must avoid those fault lines and work towards cementing the fragmented culture and tradition of brotherhood in the coming years”.

He recalled that the nation has gone through many tortuous journeys to nation hood including but not limited to the 30 months old fratricidal civil strife saying “ we must leave the past to the past and say never again”.
