Mark to Nigerians: Resist terrorists’ plot to destabilise Nigeria

Senate President, David Mark, has again bemoaned the unabating activities of terrorists ravaging parts of the country and pleaded with citizens to rise up against the orchestrated plot to destabilise the country.
This was contained in a statement issued yesterday in Abuja.
It said: “If the perpetrators of these violent crimes would not come to the negotiating table to dialogue with authorities in order to address whatever grievances they may have, government would be left with no option than to deploy its might to deal with the situation.”
Speaking when he decorated promoted police officers attached to his office with their new ranks, Mark said government “can no longer tolerate a situation where insurgents and terrorists continue to hold it and the citizens hostage.”
“No matter how disgruntled or angry they may be, they cannot continue to kill our citizens and destroy property at will as way of life.  It is a high time wise counsel prevails among these insurgents to drop their arms and embrace peace.”
Police officers decorated with their new ranks of Assistant Superintendents of Police (ASP) were Odufu Boniface , Ibrahim  Omaga and ONI John.  Ndamshe Nanzing was decorated as Police Inspector.
Mark also sympathised with Benue state governor, Gabriel Suswam, who was attacked by gunmen at Tse -Kenyi village while inspecting the destroyed community.
