Senate President, David Mark has declared his support of the conference call by certain section of the country on the note that it is in line with the aim to view the discontent in the polity.

CEOAFRICA gathered that the Lawmaker made this statement while welcoming senators from their seven-week annual vacation.

David Mark noted that the meeting will permit every matter about the union of ethnic groups that made up the country to be opened for discussion though on the condition that the dismemberment of the country should be a no-go area.

He explained that the country could not continue to shy away from discussing national issues in view of the discontent in the polity and present global realities, insisting that the perceived or alleged structural distortions which have bred discontentment and alienation in some quarters must be confronted.

He asserted that the task of nation building requires patience, faith, scrupulous honesty, diligence, dedication, sacrifice, toil, labour, assiduous application and massive investments in the future, stressing that the heights attained by great nations were not made by sudden flights.

David Mark remarked that there is no alternative to the democratic project, which dread and will never want a nation nudged by impunity, brigandage, banditry, insurgency, rampant corruption, and misgovernance.

Mark lamented that despite the fact that the 2015 general election was still two years away, some “political jobbers, sycophants, and hustlers have prematurely seized the political space, and are being allowed to set the tone of national discourse.

He further enumerated that Nigeria desire a country in which the tremendous potentials as a nation are transparently and equitably nurtured and realized; a country in which law reigns supreme, and is applied evenly and equally to all, high and low.

Mark however affirmed the expectations perfectly dovetail into the senate core constitutional mandate of making laws for the good government of the federation, and all of its parts.
