Former Senate President, Senator David Mark, has vowed to dedicate his time and energy into mentoring younger generations who would take over leadership of the country.
In a church service in Abuja on Monday to mark his 71st birthday, Mark also urged the political class to mentor new leaders for the purpose of assuming leadership roles in the nearest future.
“I will henceforth devote my time and energy to mentor younger generation of leaders. We must put machinery in place to do things right and make our country a better place,” Mark said.
In a statement by his spokesman, Paul Mumeh, the former Senate President advised that new leaders are needed to breathe “fresh perspectives that would facilitate progress and development to our country.”
Mark added that all the country needs are “strong institutions and not strong individuals. This is to avoid a situation where the institutions operate according to the whims and caprices of powerful individuals.”
Chaplain of St. Mulumba Catholic Chaplaincy, Rev. Father Innocent Jooji, praised the lawmaker for his leadership qualities over the years.
