Defection rumour: I will be the last man standing for PDP –David Mark

 Senate President, David Alechenu Mark, has declared that he would be the last man standing as a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, even other choose to leave.
The senate leader was reacting to a recent report that he was under pressure to join the APC.

The Okpokpowulu K’Idoma who ‘thinly’ triumphed over his challenger, Dan Onjeh to pick the ticket for fifth ten penultimate Saturday, made the clarification 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.”
He noted that it was normal that in a democracy, winners must emerge while the losers go back to the drawing board and rejuvenate.

Mark said, “The outcome of the presidential election in favour of APC is the will of God and 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 seek another return to the PDP.
“I believe in PDP manifestos . I will work hard to bring the party back on track. What is important is that we have established democracy in Nigeria.”
