the state of emergency declared in
Adamawa, Borno and Yobe States would
be over soon.
Mark stated this at a church service to mark
the 2013 Democracy Day at St. Mulumba
Catholic Chaplaincy, Apo, Abuja.
He explained that the state of emergency
proclamation in some states of
the federation was a last resort to tame the
lingering menace of insecurity and bring
normalcy back to the land.
"I know it is yielding positive result. Very soon,
it would be over as our military formations are
living up to the task,"
he explained.
He admitted that there are challenges militating
against the nation but said they are
surmountable.
"All we need is a collective resolve to confront
our challenges and find a lasting solution to
them," he added.
The Senate President in a statement by his Chief
Press Secretary, Paul Mumeh, in Abuja urged
Nigerians to be a good Apostle of peace in the
country in order to facilitate delivery of the
dividends of democracy.
He stated that the nation is currently passing
through some difficulties especially in the areas
of security and socio-economy challenges,
pointing out that "We can collectively resolve to
say enough is enough.
"All our efforts towards development would
come to naught if the crisis continues," Mark
added.
He thanked Nigerians for their perseverance and
cooperation in the propagation and sustenance
of democracy, adding that democracy is a process
everyone should uphold in order to benefit from
its dividends.
