Director of Senator David Mark Campaign Organisation, Dr. Adakole Elijah has said that Idoma people will continue to support David Mark’s ambition to represent them in the senate in order to protect their integrity and destiny.
Elijah said this while reacting to the All Progressives Congress candidate in the Benue-South senatorial district rerun election, Daniel Onjeh’s recent statement that Idoma people are not behind David Mark.
In a statement, Elijah faulted the appellate court for relying on the clerical error of the returning officer, who signed the result on the 28th instead of March 29, 2015.
He said “Why did the state government deny having a hand in the judgment when it was not accused? We want to get the judgment and expose them.
“What the court ought to have done was to set aside the declaration and collate the result since the date does not invalidate election if there was a clerical error, in so far as it does not change the result. We would not join issues with Onjeh to dignify him.
“The Idoma people are not fools and they would continue to maintain their support for Mark in order to protect their integrity and destiny. We will not toy with our destiny and that of our children to a man who does not have our interest at heart.”
