PDP Will Win Presidential Election, Others Transparently - Mark

Senate President, David Mark

Senate President, David Mark, has expressed optimism that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will not only win the presidential and other elective positions in the 2015 general election, but will do so transparently in a free and fair contest, such that will be acceptable to the opposition, the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Mark stated this on Wednesday at Mangu Mini Stadium, where he chaired the flag off campaign of the PDP governorship candidate in Plateau State, Senator Gyang Pwajok.

He described Pwajok as credible, competent, intelligent and hardworking, saying with his reputable credentials and integrity, the only the PDP members in the state that will vote him but some members of the APC will equally support hm.

According to him, “The PDP in the North-central has deliberately chosen its candidates to win the geo-political zone. North-central is PDP and PDP is North-central. We will deliver for President Jonathan and all elective positions during the February general election.

“The PDP is not only going to win in a free, fair and credible election, but we will make sure we win in a transparent election. We in the North-central are known for doing what is right and we must do the right thing by giving our block votes to President Jonathan and all our candidates.”
He urged Nigerians to eschew politics of violence and ensure they have their voters cards, adding that, “we in the National Assembly are suggesting that those who do not have the permanent voters’ cards should be allowed to vote with their temporary voters’ cards because they must participate and decide those who will govern them.
Also speaking, the Governor of Niger State and Chairman of the Northern States Governors’ Forum, Dr. Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu, urged Nigerians not to be deceived by desperate politicians who do not have the interest of their communities and the nation at heart, but their personal interest. We must continue with the development that we have started.
He said, “We cannot submit to propaganda and cheap blackmail by the APC, we must deliver our polling units to PDP. Politicians who do not deliver their polling units are not serious politicians” he stated.

Similarly, the Governor of Benue State, Mr. Gabriel Suswam, urged the people to take the February general election very seriously, saying “we should not treat the February election with laxity, the election must be taken with all seriousness. We must return President Jonathan, which is why North-central is working as a unit to deliver for the PDP”, adding that APC is not fit to rule Nigeria.
Present at the flag off were Governor Jonah Jang, Senator Joshua Dariye and General Jeremiah Useni (rtd), who are the PDP Senatorial candidates of Plateau North, Plateau Central and Plateau South respectively. The party’s candidates for the House of Representatives in the state, and the 24 candidates for the House of Assembly were also present. They all received their flags in the presence of the mammoth crowd that attended the event.
