Mark declares to run for Senate for the fifth time in a
rowBy Sylvester Ugwuanyi on
Senate President, David Mark has finally made known his
intent to contest the 2015 election following his endorsement at the weekend by
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Benue South senatorial district as its
sole candidate.
This would be the fifth time Mark would be flying the
party’s ticket as he has run and so far won in all the elections for the Benue
South senatorial seat since 1999.
The Senate President, who was represented by the Minister
of Interior, Abba Moro, said he was humbled by the demand of his kinsmen and
would not turn down the offer because he said the Idoma people deserve a place
in national politics.
Earlier, the Chairman of PDP in the state, Dr. Emmanuel
Agbo, said the endorsement was for the common good of the Idoma nation which he
asserted cannot afford to downplay the prominence the office of the Senate
president has brought to the tribe.
So does it mean that the people of Idoma do not have credible men that can represent them again?
