Mark sad over Taraba speaker’s death, says we have lost a resourceful parliamentarian

President of the Senate, Senator David Mark has expressed sadness over the  sudden death of Taraba state speaker Rt. Hon. Haruna Tsokwa saying that the law maker died when his services were most needed.

Senator Mark in a condolence  message to the bereaved family, the government and people of Taraba state, said the death of Tsokwa was shocking and devastating.

The Senate President noted that Tsokwa ‘s exit has created a vacuum that would be difficult to fill saying that death has denied the nation his rich  experience in parliamentary practices and procedures .

” Tsokwa’s death is painful .  He was a very  resourceful and promising parliamentarian.  He had a bright future. But the Almighty creator had a different design for which we cannot question.

” However, we take solace in the fact that late Tsokwa during his brief but eventful stay on earth gave a good account of himself and contributed positively to development of the society.  We shall miss his humane and robust contributions to the parliament. ”

Senator Mark sympathized with the government and people of Taraba State especially the immediate family of the deceased and prayed that God grant them the fortitude to bear this painful loss.
