David Mark Decorates His Newly Promoted Aide-de-camp With New Rank

Senator David Mark, on Monday, said the time has come for security operatives to unmask sponsors of Boko Haram.

Mark, who spoke at the decoration of his Aide-de-camp (ADC), Abel Miri, with his new rank of Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), in Abuja, said one of the ways to end the reign of insurgency and the onslaught of Boko Haram on Nigerians was to unmask their sponsors within and outside the country.

He implored community leaders and citizens to collaborate with security operatives, in order to fish out the financiers of insurgents, adding that security operatives must bring their intellect and investigative skills to bear in discovering those behind the insurgency.

“The unabating situation demands extraordinary 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 threat to our existence. Nobody should sit on the fence any more. 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 said.

The Senate president tasked the newly promoted ACP that the new rank demanded higher responsibility and dedication to the service to his fatherland, adding that “as an officer and gentleman, your loyalty is to the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
