Ahead of the Benue South senatorial rerun,
a group of prominent Idoma citizens under
the umbrella of Concerned Idoma Citizens
has called on former Senate President, David
Mark to back out from the race.
The group said, having assessed Mark’s
political achievements in Idoma land, nay,
Benue South within his 16 years in the
senate, it has concluded that it was high
time for him to pull out for fresh and
preferably vibrant person to step in.
CIC in a statement by its chairman, Paulinus
Okwori, wondered why Mark has chosen to
return to the senate as a floor member,
having served as the number three man in
the nation for eight years.
He said, “Mark`s 16 years in the senate is a
compete disaster. His achievements were
only seen on the pages of newspapers and
blogs.
“As the number three man in the nation for
eight years, his kinsmen back home had no
portable water. The roads in his
constituency are in deplorable condition and
even the ones the federal government paid
for were not executed by his recommended
contractors.
“It is sad, yet, shameful that Mark is asking
for votes from Idoma people he betrayed.
“He has been using the creation of Apa State
as a gimmick to hoodwink our people. He
promised to use the last drop of his blood to
create Apa State; now the story has
changed.
The statement added, it is shameful for Mark
and his praise singers to continue to name
just three uncompleted projects as his
achievements after 16 years. These are the
Oweto road, Dam in Otukpo and a University
of Medical Sciences. Should this be a credit
or a discredit since these projects are either
non existent or are still below 30%
completion
“His divisive politics of Idoma West versus
Idoma North and this time, the Tiv
sponsoring his opponents will not stand..We
are tired of these lame tactics and divide
and rule politics
Okwori further accused the ex-soldier of
championing the statement purportedly
issued by some persons who claimed to be
Idoma Elders recently that asked the Federal
Government Authorities to sack the Chief of
Defence, Inteligence, AVM Morgan..
“What should make a Man like David Mark
use his supporters to call on the President to
sack from service a Junior brother, AVM
Monday Morgan as the Chief of Defense
Intelligence who had through dint of hard
work and excellent service reached the
pinnacle of the Military and even attained
the 35 years mark in service.”
We thank the Honourable Senator for his 16
years of diservice to Idomaland and request
that he kindly give way to the young and
progressive Daniel Onjeh of the APC.

Concerned Idoma citizens or APC noise makers?

Am happy that there are still people in Idoma land that can boldly say the truth. David Mark has been in government since the 80's(as governor of gongola state and other states) and to minister and then senator for 8yrs before being the senate president for another 8years. Yet,no iota of development even for his community. The schools and police stations in his community are eye-sores. Instead of providing his people with transformers,he got himself one exclusively for his compound,leaving his people in perpetual darkness. Because the road to his place is so bad,he opted to build himself a helipad from where he'll fly over the bad road(which he receives constituency allowance for).
His level of occultic wickedness is very high(the type of wickedness that would want to make sure that people around you are in perpetual suffering while you rise at their expense).
Kudos to this group but they shouldn't have named the APC candidate,that will give their view a partisan colouration.

Whoever they are, they have no followers. The man has been re-elected, and someone boasted that if rerun is done hundred times, he will win as much.
