Senate President David Mark on
Wednesday called on all those who prophesied that the outcome of the
Presidential election would be disastrous to apologise to
Nigerians. Mark made this call at a Special Mass at the Chapel of
Testimony, Apo, Abuja, to mark his 67th birthday.
He said this prophesy led to exodus of
Nigerians to their states of origin in fear of the violence
predicted. “On Election Day, people thought that the fight was going to
be one that had never been seen in this country before, but God heard
our prayers, the election came and went, no major incidents. “Results
were announced and President Goodluck Jonathan conceded defeat even
before the final result and congratulated General Buhari.
“I think this is God’s way of telling Nigerians that he has put us together and we must remain one united country.
“Those who were predicting that this country will be gone should apologise to Nigerians; there were so many prophesy.
“The problem with all these prophets is
that when things do not go their own way, they find another way of
coming back and telling us that what they meant was this, they spoke in
tongues and we did not understand.
“As a nation, we have risen beyond the
wishes of all these prophets of doom, but what is more important is that
we have established a firm root of democracy in this country’’, he
said.
