Lamenting the endless killing of innocent Nigerians in the North, Mark called on every Nigerian to rise up against the orchestrated plot to destabilize the country.
Mark said, “if the perpetrators of these violent crimes would not come to the negotiating table to dialogue with authorities in order to address whatever grievances they may have, government would be left with no option than to deploy its might to deal with the situation.”
Mark, who stated this while decorating some police officers attached to his office with their new ranks, noted that government would no longer tolerate a situation where insurgents and terrorists continue to hold it and the citizens hostage.
“No matter how disgruntled or angry they may be, they cannot continue to kill our citizens and destroy property at will and as way of life. It is a high time wise counsel prevailed among these insurgents to drop their arms and embrace peace,” Mark said stated.
He noted that ” Nigeria is passing through very difficult times and challenges and certainly does not need these wars and destructions . We need to live and work together as free people . We need a country where all citizens have equal opportunities, where no one is oppressed or molested.”
Senator Mark also sympathized with Benue state Governor Gabriel Suswam who was attacked by gunmen at Tse -Kenyi village while inspecting the destroyed community.
He said the situation calls for vigilance on the part of every citizen just as he asked for support and cooperation for the security operatives to succeed in the task of protecting lives and property.
