Ex- Senate President,Senator David Mark has called on his constituents
to remain calm and be law abiding following the Benue State Election
Appeal Tribunal which ordered a re-run of Benue South senatorial
election.
In a statement issued by the Media Assistant to Senator Mark, Paul Mumeh
on Saturday, the Senator told his constituents not to be deterred by
the verdict, but be strengthened ahead of the re-run.
He believed that he won the election convincingly and has no doubt that
his constituents would turn out en masse to vote for him again.
“Whatever the situation may be, one thing I know is that my people are
solidly behind me. They also appreciate the fact that I have done more
than enough to lift up Idoma nation to a position of eminence in the
contemporary political history of Nigeria”, Senator Mark stated.
He insisted: “I won the election clean and clear. If we go back to the polls 100 times, I will still win convincingly”.
Earlier on Saturday, the Appeal Court ordered a fresh election to Benue
south Senatorial district won by Senator Mark of the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) against Daniel Onjeh of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
