I’ll Be The Last Member to Leave PDP -David Mark

davidmarkThe Senate president, David Mark, has said that he would not leave the PDP for the APC simply because he wants to return as senate president.

Despite winning his constituency, the PDP’s subpar performance at the presidential elections means that Mark and other top officials of the national assembly would not be returning to power. With APC having 45 of the 109 seats in power (and with APC in the majority), it means that APC would produce the next senate president.

Mark has described the people who have defected from PDP as ‘fair-weather friends,’ saying: “I have heard, by way of rumour, to start with, in social media that I am decamping to APC.

Social media is awash with that. If I will be the last man standing, I will remain in PDP. The rumour is just an unnecessary fabrication.

“Nobody has spoken to me from APC. I have no reasons whatsoever to leave PDP, no reasons. I have risen to where I am on the platform of PDP. PDP has a manifesto and I believe in it.

“Those drifting to the APC now are fair-weather friends of the PDP. They are seeking new green areas. When the PDP bounces back, they will seek another return to the PDP.”

Expressing happiness that the election were relatively peaceful, he said: “there were so many prophecies; so many, but the problem is that all these prophecies, when things don’t go their own way, they find another way of coming back to us that they mean this or that and they spoke in tongues and we didn’t hear.

“As a nation, we have risen well beyond the wishes of all these prophets of doom. But what is really more important is that we have established democracy in this country, strong roots of democracy because that is what this election has shown that PDP the ruling party is no more the party at the centre even though we are going to win many more states than the APC.”
