Senate President Congratulates New Leaders In APC.

Senate President David Mark has sent a message of congratulation to the new leadership of All Progressive Congress (APC) in the aftermath of the party’s National Convention held on Friday. Mark, in the congratulatory message, urged the APC National Chairman, Chief John Odigie Oyegun and the National Executive of the party to put the interest of the nation above personal or party interest. He stated: “Whichever political divide we may belong, what must, of a necessity, be paramount is the survival of our country under a democratic dispensation. I know Chief Oyegun as a patriotic Nigerian who would strive to make our society a better place. “ I can only remind him not to deviate from this path of honour. Whatever makes for good of the country and her people should without compromise be his watchword. The era of intra or inter-party wrangling should be discarded for good.” The Senate President said there was the need for credible, strong and viable opposition party that would reinforce government resolve to deliver dividends of democracy to the citizenry. According to him, what the nation needed was collective efforts irrespective of different political affiliation and political differences.
