SAN FRANCISCO, November 28, (THEWILL) – Former President of the Senate, Senator David Mark (PDP), has called on his constituents to remain calm over the Court of Appeal’s annulment of his victory in the Benue South Senatorial District election.
Senator Mark in a reaction to the verdict urged people of his district to prepare for the rerun, saying he believed that he won the annulled election convincingly and has no doubt that his constituents would turn out en masse to elect him again.
“Whatever the situation may be, one thing I know is that my people are solidly behind me. They also appreciate the fact that I have done more than enough to lift Idoma nation to position of eminence in the contemporary political history of Nigeria,” Senator Mark stated.
“I won the election clean and clear. If we go back to the polls 100 times, I will still win convincingly”, he added.
The Makurdi, Benue State Division of the appellate court earlier on Saturday annulled the election following an appeal by the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr. Daniel Onjeh, who claimed that the vote was marred by irregularities.
