Despite outcries from younger Nigerians that Senate President, David Mark should bow out of the National Assembly after over a decade, former minister of state for education, Professor Jerry Anthony Agada is of the opinion that Nigerians need to thank the Idoma people for giving them a ‘worthy’ son like Mark.

Agada also added that the endorsement of Mark by members of his senatorial district for fifth term was in favour of Nigerians.

Speaking with newsmen in Makurdi, the Benue State capital, the Orokam-born writer, who also doubles as a special assistant to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Chairman, Adamu Mu’azu, said the presence of Mark at the national assembly had stabilized the nation’s democracy.


“The reason for the endorsement is that the much expected acrimonies that may arise as a result of cut-throat competition will be eliminated as far as PDP is concerned.

“Nigerians should appreciate us (Idoma) for consenting to give them David Mark, who is performing creditably well to keep the country united”, he said.

The ex-guber candidate in Benue State noted that those complaining about the long stay of Mark at the Senate were selfish individuals looking out for personal gains and not the interest of the people, stressing that many Nigerians craved for Mark’s continuity for the stability of the nation.

“What we want as Nigerians is a situation where our democracy can be sustained, a situation where development can be brought into the country and a situation where people will feel happy that things are going on very well. I think that is the representation that David Mark is giving to the country”, he added.http://dailypost.ng/2014/10/03/nigerians-need-thank-idoma-allowing-david-mark-run-fifth-term-jerry-agada/

You should be concerned about the economic plight of idoma. since Suswan and Mark are in a position to change the fortunes, why have they not done so

Mark the next president after Gej,signed and sealed.

Has anyone ever asked why this man sees nothing wrong with the current administration?always in agreement with whatever Gen does,turned the Senate which use to be vibrant into a rubber stamp senate.

The Idomas are not in any way complaining. They are content and not really those who boast in their achievement. While Mark is doing his own thing, millions of Idomas are also making individual progress. In a nut shell, they don't exactly need Mark to make their mark. You got the drift i suppose.

I agree with you. Such a shame how politics of interest has robbed us of value. The senate is best an extention of the excutive. Nothing of interest comes forth any more.

There is more money circulating in that house of assembly than the central bank.
