The people of Benue South Senatorial District have been urged to resist an attempt by ex-Senate President David Mark to return to the National Assembly.
The Coordinator of ‘The Idoma Shine Your Eyes’, Comrade Yakubu Onogwu, in a statement to reporters at the weekend in Benin City said the only way to attract development to the zone was for the people to reject Mark at the polls and vote the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Comrade Daniel Onje.
Onogwu, who accused Mark of wasting the opportunity to attract federal presence during the 16 years the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was in power, said it was regrettable that the Idoma were pauperised despite their kinsman being Senate president.
His words: “It’s a shame that a drive round Otukpo, which is regarded as the administrative headquarters of the Idoma and other communities, will show ruin, with no federal presence. Our people have been deceived for too long.
“Mark is doing everything to manipulate the people with his ill-gotten wealth. He wants to rig himself back to the Senate. We assure him that he will fall as the biblical Goliath fell to David. Benue South people are conscious politically more than before.”
