Senate President David Mark has, again, tasked Nigerians to renew their faith in the unity of the nation, saying they should not be deterred by the security and social-economic challenges facing the country.
He said this during a church service to Mark his wife’s 64th birthday at the St Mulumba Chaplaincy, Apo, Abuja, on Saturday.
The Senate President said that Nigerians should remain steadfast and believe in the prospect of the country to overcome those challenges.
He stated that as a nation, “we should continue to be our brothers’ keeper. We have gone this far and we should not wish away our strength of togetherness.
“God created us to be together as a nation. We are all made by God and we shall all stand before Him to give account of what we have done here on earth. So, as a people, we should learn to be tolerant and love one another.”
Mark admonished Nigerians to eschew all forms of violence, saying, “no matter how aggrieved a man may be, resorting to violence will only escalate the situation.”
He commended his wife, Helen, for her virtue and love for the family, saying, “We decided to celebrate her birthday with a Holy Mass in our church to thank God.
“She has been a strong pillar behind me all these years. She has been very supportive and an ideal helpmeet.”
In his sermon, Reverend Father Innocent Jooji quoted from Colossians chapter 3 verse 12, urging the congregation to be thankful to God in all situations.
Jooji said God is more compassionate about humans and want them to live together with the heart full of praise and tolerance. He also canvassed for oneness and forgiveness to one another.
