Mark, An Asset To The Nation –PDP

  Says It’s Behind Him For Another Victory

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says the party and the people of
Benue South are solidly behind the former Senate President, Senator
David Mark to repeat his electoral victory in the rerun election ordered
by the Court of Appeal.

The party, which described Mark as an asset to the nation said it is
assured that the people of Benue South Senatorial zone, as ardent
members and supporters of the PDP since 1999 would remain steadfast in
giving him another resounding victory at the rerun election.

PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh in a statement on
Monday said the confidence of the party of retaining the Senatorial seat
is even stronger now that the deceit of the All Progressives Congress
(APC) has become obvious to all Nigerians.

The PDP said the inexplicable ruling of the Appeal Court, even when all
evidence pointed to Mark’s victory as upheld by the lower tribunal, is
yet another evidence of APC's dangerous interference in the judiciary,
which negative consequences the PDP has continued to alert the nation.

The party also noted the significant contributions of Senator Mark in
growing and stabilizing the nation's democracy through his mature,
responsible and patriotic leadership of the Senate, a value that is
still highly needed in the polity.

The PDP therefore urged its members in Benue South to resist any attempt
to intimidate them, especially in their determination to ensure
effective and result-oriented representation in the Senate as typified
in Senator Mark.
