Former Senate President David Mark has stated that the break up of the country was not an option to be considered.

The lawmaker made this known when he led members of the Nigeria Defence Academy (NDA) 3rd Regular Course Alumni Association on a courtesy visit to the Kaduna State Acting governor, Aminu Shagali, on Friday to mark the Golden Jubilee (50 years) of their entry into the NDA.

Senator Mark insisted that the unity of Nigeria is not negotiable.

He said: ”Those who are agitating for otherwise are missing the point. Nigeria has crossed many crucibles .

”We cannot reverse ourselves. The only option is to move on in a manner that is progressive, peaceful and united.

”We may have our disagreements. But a break up is not an option. We can resolve our differences through meaningful dialogue and genuine conversation. There is no use heating up the polity.”

Speaking further, the lawmaker said he and his coursemates were admitted into the NDA in September 1967.

”Fifty years ago, we were admitted into NDA as cadets with a mission to protect and defend the territorial integrity of our nation .

”We were bonded together by patriotism to keep Nigeria one.

”It is a sweet memory and a reunion to gather in Kaduna once again,” he said.
