Former president of the Senate, David Mark has taken stock of Nigeria’s antecedents and submitted that time has come for sober reflection.
A statement by the former Senate President’s Media Adviser, Paul Mumeh, on Tuesday indicated that Mark called for the sober reflection in a goodwill message to Nigerians.
The statement said Mark reflected on the country’s journey so far and noted that in spite of the challenges of insecurity, poverty, disease and general underdevelopment, Nigeria “is endowed with human and natural resources capable of turning the country’s fortunes around for good”.
“This is achievable if all citizens are patriotic and united with a common mission and purpose.
“Disappointing as the situation may seem, the shortcomings of the past should serve as useful lessons for progress.
“We must learn from our past mistakes and work towards a better future,” Mark said.
He recalled the 30-month-old civil war, occasional ethno-religious conflicts, and the uncertainties surrounding political engagements, saying that all these issues are traceable to inadequacies of leadership and citizenship failure.
He, however, cautioned against divisive tendencies and inflammatory statements in recent times that tend to exacerbate the already fragmented atmosphere.
