David Mark To Run For Senate President For The 5th Time

The President of the Senate of
Nigeria and Senator for the Benue
State constituency, David Mark, broke
forth into tears as he accepted the
2015 Peoples Democratic Party
nomination form from his
constituents.

Punch reports that the party nomination form was
purchased by the nine local government council
chairmen in Benue South Senatorial District (zone C)
to bring Mark back as Senator for the 5th time at
the National Assembly.
It was presented at the state Secretariat of the
Peoples Democratic Party in Makurdi, the state
capital by the Minister of Interior, Comrade Patrick
Abba-Moro, just as the declaration was done at
Okurkpo the headquarters of Idoma nation.
While accepting the nomination form at a crowded
gathering in his Otukpo country home on Monday,
Mark promised not to depart from the path of
honour, justice and equity in the service to his
country men and women.
He said, "This is the covenant with my
people. This endorsement speaks
volume of the immeasurable
responsibility on my shoulder by my
people. Please pray for me that God
gives me the grace, wisdom and
courage to continue to serve to the
glory of God and benefit to
humanity."
In his remarks, the Deputy Governor of Benue State,
Chief Steve Lawani, said the endorsement of the
Senate President was a confirmation of the position
of the state government because of Mark's
unprecedented achievement in the Senate.
