Former President of the Senate, Senator David Mark, has marked his 77th birthday by calling on Nigerians to put aside their differences and work together to address the nation’s security, political, and economic challenges. Speaking at a church service in Abuja, Mark attributed his longevity and achievements to the blessings of Almighty God, saying, “All glory and praise to Almighty God.” He dedicated his life to serving God and humanity, expressing gratitude for the gift of life. The former Senate President emphasized the importance of unity in overcoming national challenges, stating, “I believe that with God, all things are possible. I believe that if we come together to tackle our common challenges, the answer will be obvious.” In his remarks, Rev. Fr. Innocent Jooji lauded Senator Mark’s eight-year tenure as Senate President, describing it as unblemished. Fr. Jooji urged those in authority to prioritize people’s needs, saying, “Government exists because of the people, therefore, your policies and programs should ordinarily be people-centered.” He also counseled governments to listen to citizens’ yearnings and aspirations, noting that “the voice of the people is the voice of God”.
