—————says President is our choicePresident of the Senate Senator David Mark has further advanced reasons why the National Assembly\u00a0 caucus of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) endorsed the continuity of President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan in office\u00a0 for 2015.<\/p>\n

He said President Jonathan has demonstrated trust, dedication and steadfastness to the\u00a0 service of our fatherland .<\/p>\n

Senator Mark who led PDP\u00a0 legislators ( Senators & members of the House of Representatives) to the declaration of President Jonathan for the 2015 election said the endorsement of\u00a0 Mr. President was based on his people- centered transformation programme needed to be executed to its logical conclusion.<\/p>\n

He listed the positive revolution in Agriculture, Aviation , Power, Telecommunication and Education among others where the Jonathan administration need to stay on for consolidation for the good of all citizens.<\/p>\n

Besides, Senator Mark pointed out\u00a0 that it is\u00a0 in conformity with advanced democracies of the world where performing incumbent office holders are given the right of first refusal to recontest.<\/p>\n

Senator Mark was of the opinion that the laudable programmes initiated by President Jonathan may be truncated if he declines to continue in office.<\/p>\n

The National Assembly, he assured will continue to support and indeed provide the needed legislative frame work for the Executive under Jonathan to continue to deliver the dividends of democracy to the Nigerian people.<\/p>\n

He acknowledged the unabating security challenges facing Nigeria and expressed optimism that\u00a0 the problem is surmountable ”\u00a0 if every Nigerian drops the toga\u00a0 of ethnicity, religion or political affiliation and\u00a0 resolve to work together to end the menace.”<\/p>\n

Senator Mark therefore pleaded with all Nigerians to close ranks and fight on a common front to defeat the terrorists putting asunder to our peace, progress and unity.<\/p>\n

The Senate President stressed that there is no challenge ” We cannot overcome as a people if we don’t work together for our common destiny and future.”<\/p>\n

He counseled security operatives not to be deterred by some short comings in their operations but should rather spur them for greater action to defeat terrorists as all right thinking Nigerians are behind them in prayer.<\/p>\n

\nPaul Mumeh, Chief Press Secretary to the President of the Senate.
