Mark: Why Benue South will never vote for APC

Former Senate President and Senator representing Benue South Senatorial district, David Mark has stated that his people will never vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in any of the elections.

Mark who made this declaration yesterday in Otukpo at the end of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) campaign tour of local government areas in the zone, advanced three reasons, one of which is the scrapping the Federal University of Health Sciences in Otukpo by the APC on assuming office, students of which he said would have been in 300 level by now.

He said, the epileptic nature with which work was progressing on the Iweto bridge was also another reason the people of his district would reject the APC at the polls, even as he added that the stopping of work on the Otobi Dam for no justifiable reason made the people felt denied of many benefits of the dam including all round year farming.

He also stated that Ortom had taken the bullet for his people and as such deserves support for a second term. Ortom said he was impressed by the turnout of people of the zone throughout the PDP campaign tour, stressing that a vote for PDP was a liberation of the country from poverty, insecurity and impunity.
