The youth wing of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) has explained why Nigerians should queue behind former
Senate President, David Mark, as their president in 2019.
The youth group on Wednesday said
that it had concluded arrangements for the take-off of pro-Mark rally in
Sokoto, at the weekend, in support of its candidate.
The national coordinator of the
group, Alhaji Abdullahi Ali Kano, told newsmen that the rally was aimed at
mobilizing support for Mark’s presidency.
Ali Kano, who served as a member
of the 2015 PDP Presidential Campaign Council and delegate to the 2014 National
Conference, said Mark had all the qualities needed in a leader.
“Mark has never, since the
inception of the PDP, left the party. For 19 years, he has remained faithful
and loyal to the party. He has shown that he is not a fair-weather politician,”
Ali Kano said.
He said the rally, which would be
replicated in all 36 states of the country, including the Federal Capital
Territory (FCT), would be in the overall interest of the country, “especially
the PDP members.”
“David Mark is a disciplined
military officer, an astute politician who is tested and trusted. He presided
over the National Assembly for eight years without blemish.
“Nigerians will always remember
him for saving our country from constitutional crisis during Umaru Musa
Yar’adua’s administration when he came up with the Doctrine of Necessity,” Ali
Kano added.
The Northern PDP had on Tuesday
converged and insisted that the zone
must produce the presidential candidate of the party ahead of the 2019 general
elections.
Mark is from Benue State, north
central Nigeria.
