So Idomas will vote David Mark again to represent them in the senate? George Onmonya Daniel ----------------------------------- Almost Eight years as the number 3 man of Nigeria and David Mark doesnt ply Makurdi to Oturkpo road. He goes home with hellicopter. At least that is what he is known for in Oturkpo, the capital of Idoma land. David Mark is popular in Nigeria but not in Idoma land. In fact Zone C senatorial zone of Benue State is one of the poorest zones in Nigeria. I will advise travellers not to travel down Makurdi to Oturkpo road at night as it is simply not safe. With pothole as large as opening of well on the road here and there, somebody who doesnt know the road may end up entering one and it will definitely send any vehicle tumbling into the bush. I couldnt go to my village of Agila in Ado Local Government because I was advised not to because the road is terrible this rainy season. The road to Agila has not been tarred for many years, that goes to many roads in Idoma land. Being Senate president for 8 years and being in the senate for 16 years, Idomas thought David Mark would at least attract Federal project to Benue State but nothing. For the past one year there has not been water in Oturkpo yet David Mark is the senate president. When I went to Oturkpo recently to ask people about David Mark, a lot of people are simply afraid to talk. They assumed I am an SSS official even with my press identity card and there is an atmosphere of fear. JOY FM, a radio station I heard was owned by David Mark is already telling Idomas to campaign for David Mark. Bottomline is that Idoma people are tired of David Mark. Those bold enough to talk about Mark told me they are tired of him. They have always been tired of him. That was why they voted Young Alhaji but Young Alhaji was muscled out by the powers in Abuja and gave it to David Mark and so the Idoma mandate was stolen. The only people benefitting in this whole David Mark 16 years in the senate is David Mark and his family.
