Former president of the Senate, David Mark, whose
election was annulled recently has begun campaign for
his re-election into the senate.
Following the nullification of the 5th term election of
former Senate President, David Mark by the Appellate
Court, the campaign team of the ousted legislator have
flooded the city of Otukpo with iodized salt, rice and tin
tomatoes which are branded by the senators name.
This is just as the Akpegede-born retired soldier has
also commenced work on four different roads in the
heart of the city.
According to a Daily Post report, a source revealed that
among the roads billed for reconstruction are Otukpa,
Owukpa and two others dominated by Idoma enone
(west).
Mark has been facing criticisms for refusing to attract
development to the area, which is populated by most of
his political rivals.
The report further states that the road construction
begins today, December 1 and are expected to reach
completion before Christmas. The project is under the
supervision of a certain Hon. Abel.
“As we speak, they have blocked Otukpa, Owukpa roads.
The work is expected to start today, December 1 and
reach completion before Christmas. We wonder where
they have been,” the source said.
The rice crested with Mark’s picture and inscriptions
that read, “Vote back senator Mark. If we retain him,
the nation will retain us,” were apparently reserved
after the general elections.
Already, Mark’s campaign team has been busy
distributing the food items to residents of Otukpo.
It was gathered that while some rejected the ‘Greek
gifts’ others accepted them and thanked the
Okpokpowulu for remembering them.
Mark and his rival Onjeh are expected to return to the
polls after the Court of Appeal sacked him for rigging
his way in.
