Photos: David Mark returns to his state to a rousing welcome from supporters
Senator David Mark returned to his country home, Otukpo, Benue State on
Thursday, December 10, the first since his election was nullified by the
Court of Appeal in Makurdi. He was accompanied by Members of the
National Assembly from Benue and other states. Addressing the mammoth
crowd who trooped out enmasse to welcome him, the former Senate
President urged them to remain calm in spite of the 'provocative'
judgement of the Appeal Court.
"Your turn out today shows that the election shall be won and lost by
Zone C people. Though the Court of Appeal has made its pronouncement;
but I'm happy the Judges shall not take part in the voting process. This
is not a PDP election; it's an Idoma election" Mark said.
"This is indeed a trying period for us as a people! I encourage you
to be strong and take it in your own hands; if not, we shall be
forgotten in the map of Nigeria", he added.
