——prays for an end to insurgency
Immediate past President of the Senate Senator David Mark has again called for ceaseless prayers and genuine resolve by all Nigerians in the war against insurgency in the country.
Senator Mark in a good will message to Muslim faithful to commemorate this year’s Eid- el-Fitri called on all men good will to rise to the challenge posed by the unabating terrorism being orchestrated by Boko Haram insurgents.
He said the situation was pushing the nation to the extreme and truly unbearable saying ” there is no hiding place any more . We must face the reality of a war situation . We either confront the monster headlong or get consumed.”
Senator Mark bemoaned the agonies being unleashed on Nigerians ” especially in the North East region that has led to millions of avoidable deaths, made our people refugees in their fatherland and destroyed properties worth millions of Naira.”
While calling for the cooperation of all citizens to the military in the war against terrorism, he stressed the need for persistent prayer so that the Almighty creator can intervene for the people.
He was of the view that both the government and the led must work together and adopt the attitude of being our brothers’ keeper at all times..
To boost the war against terrorism, Senator Mark added that community policing would be a panacea to insurgency because every one would be involved.
” I am convinced that we can over come our challenges including insecurity if we come together in a honest, sincere and committed manner . In this circumstances , we have no choice but to come together and confront our problem in a holistic way”, Senator Mark stated.
