Senate President, David Mark, on Wednesday has said that he is not contemplating leaving the Peoples Democratic Party because the party gave him the platform to be where he is today.
Mark made this statement at a special church service to mark his 67th birthday at St. Mulumba Catholic Chaplaincy, Apo in Abuja.
He said “I have no reason to jump ship. I will not leave the PDP. I will be the last man standing for the PDP. The party gave me the platform to be where I am today.
“I will stay in the PDP to contribute my quota to the rebuilding and restructuring of the party.
“The outcome of the presidential election in favour of the APC is the will of God and wish of the majority of Nigerians. We, in the PDP have accepted the result in good faith.
“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 return to the PDP.
“I believe in the PDP manifesto. I will work hard to bring the party back on track. What is important is that we have established democracy in Nigeria.”
