Former Senate President, David Mark Reacts To Akeredolu, Na’Abba Deaths

Former President of the Senate, David Mark, has expressed shock over the death of the Governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu and former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Ghali Na’abba.

He described the passing of the two leaders as the exit of two political giants, saying that their demise has created a huge vacuum in Nigeria’s political class.

Mark shared his grief via a statement by his media adviser, Paul Mumeh, in Kano on Wednesday.

He highlighted the exploits of Akeredolu in the legal profession before going into politics to contribute to the development of his home state; Ondo and Nigeria in general.

The Senator lamented that the nation has lost a forthright, sincere, and unrepentant defender of the rule of law and protection of human rights.

As a lawyer and President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), he stood for the ordinary man and never compromised his professional standards.

“As a governor, he made policies and programmes that had a direct positive impact on the people. Akeredolu was peoples’ governor,” he said.

Speaking on Na’abba, Mark said the former Speaker was at the forefront of the struggle for democracy and helped lay the foundation for the present democratic dispensation.

He said that Na’abba would be remembered as the speaker who fought for the independence of the legislature in Nigeria.

Na’abba stood to be counted when it mattered,” he said.
