David Mark: PDP Relishes Re-run Poll Victory

……Thanks Nigerians For Support

The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ali
Modu-Sheriff, on behalf of the National Working Committee (NWC)
congratulates former Senate President David Mark on his victory in the
last Saturday’s Benue South Senatorial re-run election.

The PDP notes that this development leaves no one in doubt of the
popularity of Senator Mark and that of the PDP not only in Benue State,
but also in the North Central geo-political zone and other states of the
federation.

The party, in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary,
Chief Olisa Metuh, on Sunday, described Senator Mark as a valuable
statesman and national leader intensely needed in the Senate, while
thanking Nigerians for their renewed support for the PDP and its
candidates as demonstrated in recent elections across the country.

  “It is instructive to note that the PDP had won 70 percent of all the
polls conducted since May 29, 2015, a development that underlines the
fact of its deep roots and popularity as a brand, irrespective of the
transitory setback of the 2015 general elections.

“We therefore call on all members of our great party to respond to the
gesture by Nigerians by uniting behind the ideals of the PDP and visions
of its founding fathers and reposition the party for the challenges
ahead.

“In this regard, the leadership of the party; the National Working
Committee, the PDP Governors’ Forum, the National Caucus, the PDP Caucus
in the National Assembly and the Board of Trustees (BoT) are working
very hard to ensure that we have a strong party poised to regain power
in 2019.

“Finally, we reiterate our call to all PDP elected and appointed office
holders across the country to reciprocate the renewed support by
Nigerians by redoubling their efforts in patriotically exerting
themselves in serving the people in line with the models provided by the
ideology of our great party.

Signed:

Chief Olisa Metuh
National Publicity Secretary
