Former President of the Senate, Senator David Mark, has again stated that Nigerians must move on together as breakup was not an option.
In a statement issued on Friday by his Media Aide, Paul Mumeh, the former Senate’s President insisted that “the unity of Nigeria is not negotiable”.
Senator Mark, stated these when he led members of the Nigeria Defence Academy (NDA) 3rd Regular Course Alumni Association on a courtesy visit to the Kaduna State Acting governor, Alhaji Aminu Shagali, in Kaduna on Friday, to mark the Golden Jubilee ( 50 years) of their entry into the NDA.
“Those who are agitating for otherwise are missing the point. Nigeria has crossed many crucibles.
“We cannot reverse ourselves. The only option is to move on in a manner that is progressive, peaceful and united.
“We may have our disagreements. But a breakup is not an option. We can resolve our differences through meaningful dialogue and genuine conversation.
“There is no use heating up the polity,” he said.
He noted that no matter the imperfections, the nation is greater and better as an indivisible country.
He recalled that he and his course mates were admitted into the NDA in September 1967 saying that they were admitted with a mission to “protect and defend the territorial integrity of our nation.
“We were bonded together by patriotism to keep Nigeria one.
“It is a sweet memory and a reunion to gather in Kaduna once again,” he said.
