David Mark is greedy, desperate – Dan Onjeh blasts Senate President for visiting Buhari alone

The recent visit by the current Senate President, David Mark to President-Elect General Muhammadu Buhari, has been described as inconsequential by Daniel Onjeh, the Benue South Senatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the last national assembly election.
According to Onjeh, a former West Africa Students’ Union President, Mark’s visit to the president-elect cannot subvert or change the cause of justice.
Onjeh in a statement personally signed on Friday insisted that he won the election and that he was ready to fight it to the end in order to reclaim his ‘stolen mandate’

The statement reads in part, “I won the election fair and square and I am confident of reclaiming my mandate at the Tribunal.

“The world must know that GMB only exhibited the strong virtues of a leader in receiving David Mark in his capacity as the Senate President, not on his yet-to-be-sworn-in stolen mandate of Benue South. He was not received as a Senator of the 8th Senate but as a Senator of the outgoing 7th Senate.

“There is lack of sincerity in Mark’s visit to GMB. This is obvious by not carrying the people of Benue South along with him on the visit. It is a visit laden with sinister and selfish motive. In any case, Mark could not have carried the people of Benue South along because of the kind of campaign he engaged in”.

“While I was campaigning vigorously for GMB’s election, Mark was campaigning on frivolities and not issues, using religion to deceive the people of Benue South. It was in his presence at one of PDP rallies in Benue South, that Governor Gabriel Suswam accused Buhari of being a Muslim fanatic and Boko Haram sponsor without him cautioning the Governor.

“Mark is the greatest enemy of democracy yet its greatest beneficiary. He has been severally fingered in the annulment of the June, 12, 1993, election yet he is the highest beneficiary, serving as Senate President for an unprecedented eight [8] years. 

He is also an enemy of the masses. As a Communication Minister, he said telephone was not meant for the poor.
“Whatever Mark’s permutations are, he will fail woefully this time around,” the statement added.
