I Joined Politics to Serve God- David Mark

David Mark, outgoing president of the Nigerian senate, says he joined politics in order to serve God and humanity. He described himself as a team player, saying he shows deference to his colleagues at the red chamber.
Speaking on Wednesday at a thanksgiving service organised in his honour by the Christian Legislators Fellowship International, Mark said he joined politics in order to serve God and humanity.

“I joined politics to serve not only humanity but to serve God,” he said. “I chose to be a team player in order to carry the senators along and I call each of the senators my boss. People of God, I cherish your prayers so much; it is not yet over until it is over by God, so continue to pray for me.” He added that through prayers, God saw him through the years; and he ascribed his achievements from the military era to the present dispensation to God’s grace. He recalled that the senate had five presidents between 1999 and 2007, but he remained president for a period of eight years – from 2007 to 2015.
