Senate President, David Mark Wednesday said the state of emergency declared in the crisis ridden Adamawa, Borno and Yobe States would be over soon.
Mark stated this yesterday in a statement through his Chief Press Secretary, Paul Mumeh at a church service to commemorate this year’s Democracy Day at St. Mulumba Catholic Chaplaincy, Apo, Abuja.
According to him, the state of emergency imposed on the states was a move to end the ongoing crisis threatening the peace and unity of the country.
He said, “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.
Mark who admitted that different challenges were militating against the nation, expressed hope that all would soon be over.
“All we need is a collective resolve to confront our challenges and find a lasting solution to them,” he added.
The Senate President also urged Nigerians to be good Apostles of peace in the country in order to facilitate delivery of dividends of democracy.
“All our efforts towards development would come to naught if the crisis continues,” Mark added.
He further 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.
