Senate President, David Mark, on Monday, December 22, 2014 dared the security operatives to employ their professional tactics and uncover the brains behind the insecurity challenges that have plagued the nation.
Mark further enjoined community leaders as well as citizens of Nigeria to work hand in hand with the security agencies in order to expose the sponsors of the dreaded Boko Haram Islamist sect.
The Chief Press Secretary, to the senate president, Mr. Paul Mumeh, stated this via a statement in Abuja after decorating his Aide-camp, a Chief Superintendent of Police, Mr Abel Miri, with his new rank of Assistant Commissioner of Police.
The Senate President reasoned that one of the ways to end the reign of insurgency and the onslaught of Boko Haram on Nigerians is to unmask their sponsors within and outside the country.
The statement in part reads, “The unabating situation demands extra-ordinary measures to handle. All of us, irrespective of status, must be alert to our responsibilities.
“Let us rise as one people faced with a common problem to say no to these harbingers of death. Let’s come together and work hard to free ourselves.
“All Nigerians must see these terrorists as a threat to our existence. Nobody should sit on the fence anymore. It is a choice we have to make in chasing these terrorists away or wait to be consumed by them.
“This is not about politics, religion or ethnicity. It is about our survival as a nation.”
HE informed the newly decorated security aide that his new feat “demands higher responsibility and dedication to the service to his fatherland.”
He said, “As an officer and gentleman, your loyalty is to the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Be fair and firm, devoid of any sentiments, you must be just to all persons no matter the circumstances.”
