ReplyDeleteRUBBISH. I am sure you meant to say you will die in Nigeria if you don't retain that seat again. Alika.
ReplyDeletePoints of correction here pls; I hv bn in d zone, Otukpo to b precise since the 1998 that democracy return. D last propaganded endorsement of David Mark was by Abba Moro and his psycophants not d Idoma elders nor d PDP cacause as it was rumored. The claim that the 9 local govt. Councel chairmen bought his form for him is totally untrue. It was Abba Moro alongside the Otukpo local govt. Councel chairman, Hon. Innocent Onuh who is his (Mark's) son inlaw, Hon. Sunday Mark chairman Ohimini local govt. And Hon. Juliana Obeta, chairman, Okpokwu local govt. The local govt of Abba Moro. These are the only local govt chairmen that were there. The fact is that, the Idoma elders forum and the PDP caucause hv said well don to David Mark and in the same vain ask him (Mark) to step aside 4 that position 2 rotate among the 9 local govt of d Benue south senatorial district. The Idoma youths under the aegis of Idoma youths for rotation has made it clare that the Idoma as a nation is due to hv a republic now. Why still the promise of Apa state? That they support the decission of the elders. From all indications, the people of the zone hve thrown their support behind Chief Mike Okibe Onoja to unseat Mark since he (Mark) fail to yield to their advice.
ReplyDeleteHuh! Go ahead and die, but leave the wealth you have corruptly acquired in a safe place for the use of Nigeria to service its citizens. Yeye die! Engwe (monkey). Hear Abba Moro warning others from that area not to dare show interest in the senate seat! Where is democracy in PDP?
ReplyDeleteDoro liars. Otukpo which is the village of the Mr. president of the senate has no water not even in his compound at his G.R.A resident in Otukpo. No road any were, no school. Idomas hav unanimously choose Chief Mike Okibe Onoja for senate come 2015. Since 1999, Apa state no come, water no come, school no come, Mark no come. This time Idomas hv said Mike Okibe Onoja must go and David Mark must come home in Jesus name...
