I still ask this question; why was Jim Nwobodo and Uche Ekwunife vilified for decamping to APC while those from other zones are celebrated and welcomed with open arms.

Idoma youths converge on Otukpo ——–As APC leader in Benue South Young Alhaji endorse David Mark
David-mark


Hundreds of thousands of youths in Benue South have converged on Otukpo, the traditional capital of Idoma nation to canvass support for the rerun election of former President of the Senate Senator David Mark.

The youths under the aegis of Idoma Dream and Idoma young Professionals had met in Abuja to endorse Senator Mark before moving home to campaign and sensitize the people on the need to return the former Senate President.

Led by its National Coordinators; Maxwell Ogiri and Barr. Oche Odang Joseph the youths listed various achievements of Senator Mark in the development of Benue South to include but not limited to roads and health projects, construction of the multi-Billion naira Oweto /Loko bridge, the facilitation of a Federal University in the zone , annual scholarship to students as well as the construction of the Multi-Billion naira Otobi water Dam to boost water and electricity among others.

They reasoned that Senator Mark has performed well and would do more if given more opportunity, arguing that Daniel Onjeh is a joker who cannot be an option for Benue South.

According to them ” Idoma cannot be enslaved. Why would Senator George Akume a Tiv man determine who represents Idoma people. Tivs are our brothers. This is not a battle between the Tivs and Idoma, but in this rerun election, let Idoma decide.

” It is better to stay with Senator Mark we know than to start something we don’t know.

“We do not want to mortgage our collective interest on the project that would obviously not represent Idoma interest. What is Daniel Onjeh’s pedigree in the Nigerian mix to represent a sophisticated and educated Benue South. Certainly not now”.

The Youths stated that the rerun election is not a battle for Senator Mark but for the survival of Idoma people.

According to them, for the fact that Onjeh is being sponsored by external forces against ” the interest of our people is enough affront and insult on the sensibilities of our people. We have our pride, we cannot allow Onjeh to be the ready tool to undermine the interest of our people.”

Interestingly, leader of APC in Benue South Alhaji Abubakar Maishanu otherwise called Young Alhaji has been in the forefront for Senator Mark’s election.

Addressing members of Idoma dream at a Town Hall meeting in Otukpo today Young Alhaji said his support for Senator Mark was necessitated by his believe that the former Senate President is the only one for now that can promote and defend the interest of Benue South.

He, therefore, urged all Idoma sons and daughters to vote for Senator Mark as the choice of the Idoma people.

SkyBlue1:
Can't they form another national party? Why must they decamp to APC? I don't like this whole idea of continuous decamping and trying to reap where you did not sow. You thought a party was so bad but you stuck with it throughout their term in power and have now suddenly discovered your moral compass lies in the new ruling party? At least Amaechi decamped when APC was still in opposition.

thank you.
They should put embargo on decamping. It will be better if they make law that stop a politician from decamping to another for at least 1 years after denouncing his original party.

Nah, ask anyone you know from Benue and ask about the Igedes. I believe more of us bear the name than Igbos who bear it. Third major tribe in Benue after Tivs and Idomas.

Got relations (uncles and aunts) who are Igbos. Paternal grandma remarried an Igbo man from Enugu after grandpa's death. So pop's got step brothers and sisters who are Igbos. Dad's from Benue (Middle Belt), mom from Yahe, Cross River state(Niger Delta).

There you have it. My bios. cheesy


Ps: "Oyis" are Idomas, the variant for us (Igedes) is Oleng. wink

Is Omenka an Idoma name?

I didnt know until now. Omenka stated that he is from the same Senatorial Zone as David Mark hence my question.

But like the bearer has posited, it is a name borne by both Igedes and Igbos.

If I may ask, is Ipio Igbo?

Thanks for one Nigeria.

i ve been reading all your anti David Mark posts on this fora for quite some time now. i dont know of any igede man who has ever said any good thing about David Mark. they just hate him not knowing that this man is only a legislator and not any executive. there is no senator in Nigeria living or dead who has rendered to his people the kind of help and developments DM has given to his own people. i m even surprised that the scholarship offered by DM is twenty times more than what the state government is paying her students yet DM should be crucified. DM is a born leader and no one can take that from him. i m not even surprised that much people did nt turn out for the APC campaign. DM is loved by his people just like the way Lybians loved Gadaffi

End of the road for David Mark, Chairman Senate Committee on Observation.

Just as GEJ couldn't improve the lot of his people in 16 years as deputy governor, governor, VP and president, David Mark also could not improve his community in 16 years at the senate. So he's not worth giving another chance.

Like Jonathan, like David Mark.
Wat did OBJ do over his course as a leader for his people?? while researching also tell us about ds guys.. tinubu, Buhari, IBB, etc cool

I don't know your background but permit me to state that not only Igedes dislike David Mark.

Than man has been in power before alot of Nigerians today were born. Nothing the Idomas can show for it apart from appointing a few cronies in gov't (Abba Moro), or giving contracts to his family members (Abuja-Keffi road straightening that was bungled by his current wife).

Forget the Ghaddafi comparison. David Mark uses Federal might (OBJ at some point) to impose himself on Benue South.

PS. I meant Lafiya-Akwanga road

You said D-Mark has done more than the state government has done in 16 years, and I and that we Igedes hate him- that is exactly what you said. Then I put two simple question to you vis:

1. Where is the evidence Igedes HATE Mark when he's been winning elections in Oju and Obi since '99??

2. What exactly has he done for the Igede people since you said he's done more than the state government has done for us??

Can you simply answer those questions??

David Mark has served nigeria so well. His only crime is him being in PDP and his ambitions towards 2019. No one can deny his leadership charisma but haters. what i m saying is if God wills it for him to win, he will surely win. the average idoma man likes him. the little developments you see in benue south was put there by david mark and not the state government and his people appreciate him for that. even Omenka can attest to that if at all he is not a hater. i did my NYSC in Idoma land.

Leave that one, I'm not given to that mentality of "Na our brother". He made a claim that DM has done so much for my people and that yet they hate him so much- and I ask (and I implore you to also ask him) what exactly has he done for the Igedes? How can people hate someone so much yet the same person has been winning elections in their local governments since '99??

Let him answer those questions.

People just sit behind some computers and spill crap about what they haven't the faintest idea about just to stir up some useless sentiments.

Just imagine the utter bullucks you are spewing all over the place. Because you spent a year in a place (Idoma land for that matter and not even in Oju or Obi where the Igedes are found) you've suddenly known more about the place than her indigenes!!

You are disgusting.
