SENATE President David Mark said,
yesterday, that with the unabating wave of
terrorism by an Islamic sect where scores of
lives have been lost with property
destroyed, Nigeria has now become a
laughing stock among the comity of
nations.
The Senate President who reiterated that
the act is condemnable, uncalled for and
clearly avoidable, stressed that no matter
the level of anger or grievances in a man’s
mind, taking the life of another cannot
provide a solution, adding, “this is ungodly.
It is inhuman and does not enjoy the
support of any right-thinking member of
the society.”
Reacting to the latest bomb attack at
Bayero University, Kano in a statement by
his Chief Press Secretary, Paul Mumeh,
Senator Mark who called on religious
leaders across the divide to unite against
these forces of evil, said, “we must
collectively rise against the perpetrators of
violence taking the lives of our people and
property at will unchallenged, because no
one knows the next victim.”
He also tasked the security operatives to
collaborate with one another and redefine
their strategies that would bring positive
results, just as he sympathized with the
victims and asked all Nigerians to brace up
to the challenge in order to stop this
menace.
Meanwhile, Senator Mark has sent a
message of condolence to the governor of
Edo State, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole
over the fatal accident at Auchi which
claimed the lives of three journalists and left
several others injured.
In the condolence message, Senator Mark
prayed for the soul of the deceased and
quick recovery of the injured, adding that
the deceased died in their line of duty and
tasked the governor, the managements of
Africa Independent Television (AIT) and
Independent Television ( ITV) to ensure that
the victims did not die in vain.
Senator Mark also consoled the Nigeria
Union of Journalists (NUJ) on the death of
their colleagues and enjoined them not to
be deterred by the set back as the nation
still relies on them to provide the needed
road map for socio- economic and political
transformation.
