The Idoma Youth Vanguard has again taken stock of the unfolding event surrounding the annulment of Senator David Mark's election by the court of appeal and told the All Progressive Party (APC) Benue south candidate, Daniel Onjeh pointedly to desist from making unguarded statements disparaging the Idoma nation.

The group in a press statement signed by its president Mike Ocheibi cautioned Onjeh against the use of foul language against the Idoma people.

The group pointed out that Onjeh in one of his press statements described the Idoma people as most gullible people in the world for believing and supporting the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate Senator David Mark, GCON.

They therefore demanded unreserved apology from Onjeh saying "you have a right to contest election but we also have a right to choose who to vote for.

"We did not make mistake in voting for Mark before and we are ready to vote for him again. We have had enough of these unwarranted provocative attacks on our illustrious son David Mark and the collective interest of Idoma nation.

"Let it be noted that we shall no longer tolerate this untoward behavior. As Africans and an Idoma in particular, we have a good culture and tradition. we have respect for our elders. Besides, a true Idoma man will not be a ready and willing tool to be used against the interest of his people.

"On this cause, we are united in no unmistakable terms to defend the interest of Idoma. We have chosen David Mark and there is no going back , no matter the amount of blackmail and mischief.

"If people like Onjeh loaf around with mischief that David Mark has not done anything for the Idoma nation, we dare ask, who made professor Jerry Agada, Abba Moro, Grace Ogwuche among others Ministers? Who brought the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) Otukpo study center? Who brought the multi-billion Otobi water dam? Who facilitated the construction of multi-million naira Oweto bridge now nearing completion?

"Can Onjeh in all honesty deny profiting from Mark’s education programmes?

"Every year, since 2005, over 1,000 students benefit from David Mark Scholarship Foundation (DMSF). At least 20,000 Benue sons and daughters who ordinarily would not have had access to school are today graduates on account of Mark’s benevolence.

"Yet, the likes of Onjeh will be shameless to say Mark has not done anything for his people.

Idoma people live Onjeh alone we Igede youths are behind him let your okpokpowulu go nd die

David Mark benevolent?
He is a public servant well paid to make laws that will have direct impact in the lives of ordinary masses not making two people ministers. How does Abba Moro being a minister benefit the grandmothers of the idi.ots making these statements in their villages?
How does open university equates to an achievement of a supposed law makers?
Scholarship when those with truck loads of degrees cannot get a job driving lorries?
Benevolent my azz! They make him sounds like father Christmas

I know this youth leader nust have been paid. What about the 2 Gana must go filled with boundles of naira notes that got spoilt inside one of the rooms in his otukpo mansion that was disposed of and burnt. Of which i was a witness. Who did Mark help apart frm ceasing accres of lands from his kins men. If i keep talking i might spoil my mood this evening.

Are we not the most gullible ppl in Nigeria?

Your post would have been sensible if you used simple and decent dictum. Many people may fail to understand the message but in truth, you are correct

Like Onjeh, most APC supporters are uncouth. Maybe it's as a result of bad parental upbringing. Nairaland is a good reference point.

NIGERIA CANNOT AND WILL NOT BE FORCED INTO A ONE PARTY NONSENSE.

WE ARE NOT RIPE FOR THAT.

DAVID MARK MUST BE RE-ELECTED!
