Wonder How Our Leaders Are Good In Speech But Lacking In Action? _________________ Senator Mark is one of Nigeria most influencial leaders and undoubtedly, a political leader in the North. He explained that he was in the House of Representatives to ascertain the safety of Speaker Aminu Tambuwal and his colleagues having received reports that canisters of tear gas were targeted at the Lawmakers. He further stated, I also went to confer with Mr. Speaker on the need to suspend plenary in both Chambers in order to restore sanity to an environment that had turned restive and becoming uncontrollable. My intention was to safeguard the sanctity of the hallowed Chamber and to guarantee the respect of the legislature. I consider the unwarranted and needless attack on my person by Hon. Abdulmalik Usman Cheche as a prize and sacrifice for leadership. It is a sacrifice I am prepared to accept. Hear him, I bear no ill feeling. AbdulMalik is my colleague. I have forgiven him. I believe we can continue to work together in the interest of peace and sustenance of democracy. Like I have repeatedly said, I will do anything necessary to keep the sanctity of the parliament as an institution and safeguard the respect of every legislator. I therefore urge all political actors to always remember that we must first have a nation before we can achieve our various individual ambitions. We must at all times restrain ourselves from actions that cannot add value to our hard earned democracy. Mark concluded, We should remain guided by the rules no matter how strongly we perceive our positions to be the most appropriate. Note: This is a Nigerian leader speaking when the ordinary citizens are being killed and maimed on daily basis. Mark didnt visit Borno, Adamawa and Yobe but when canisters of tear-gas were shot at his colleagues in the House, he rushed to ensure their safety. Thank God I watch the video footage in which he was manhandled and pushed where he almost fell to the floor! One by one, they will soon be giving the full dose of what the citizenry are experiencing on daily basis especially in the Boko Harams attack zones!
