16 Years Of Excellence: List Of People
Whose Appointment David Mark Facilitated
Part 1
By Yemi Itodo


Again, I have been spurred to write! I have been
sufficiently provoked in the spirit and as such,
been inspired to write.
There is no other cogent time to do this than
now; and like I always say, “silence is no longer
golden”. All it takes for evil to succeed is for good
people to do nothing and what makes lies flourish
is the absence of the truth.
It’s also very obvious that the vast majority of
the people who ask the above question on a daily
basis truly yearn and beg for answers – tangible
and factual answers.
What has David Mark done for the people in his
16 years in office? As idyllic as the question
appears and sounds, it’s gradually becoming a
national anthem and I think the reasons are not
farfetched.
One, it could be possible that the people don’t
actually have the update of what Senator Mark
has done for his constituents or some persons are
actually informed but mischievously disparage it
on the altar of sentiments, crass hatred, and
political idiocy.
A careful observation of the trend in Benue South
shows that all of the above are responsible for
the daily chorus of the said question which has
also escalated to other parts of Nigeria and thus,
has become a needless topical issue for analysis
on every newspaper stand, bus stop, beer parlour
and even on the matrimonial bed.
This question has become so popular that the
Google and other online applications have
customized it with the name, David Mark.
The peak of it was on Saturday during the APC
senatorial flag off in Otukpo when the party
Chairman mounted the podium and was like
asking ‘what has David Mark done for the people
in 16 years’? And his audience, greatly
beneficiaries of David Mark’s achievements, was
clapping and laughing.
As devilish as it may sound, amongst the crowd
was a decampee, a man who was the Chiefest
Beneficiary of Senator Mark’s Political
magnanimity. Through Senator David Mark, he
was appointed as Minister of State for Education
and when Late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua
sacked him (for reasons I won’t mention here), he
ran to Senator Mark again and for his (Mark’s)
passion for his people, the man was immediately
appointed as Chairman, National Council for
Colleges of Education NCCE.
Needless to mention here that as Minister of
Education, the expectation of Benue people was
for him to have transformed the Benue State
Polytechnic, Ugbokolo to a Federal Polytechnic
and, also as the overall Boss for the Colleges of
Education in Nigeria, one expected that he should
have transformed the only College of Education in
Idoma land to Federal College of Education, Oju.
None of these happened and he left the office at a
time the students in COE Oju were dying of
cholera for lack of portable water, and it took the
efforts of same Senator Mark to attract motorized
borehole in COE Oju.
My dear Professor was also appointed as Special
Adviser to the National Chairman of PDP on
Political Affairs and was directly involved in the
election that sacked GEJ and popularly de-
marketed the hitherto largest party in Africa, PDP.
Also, among the crowd on Saturday were 2
Ministers of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and
over 15 Board Chairmen, courtesy of Senator
David Mark. But none could be godly enough to
stand up, grab the microphone and say ‘David
Mark has done something for Idoma people’.
This is the more reason methinks, is responsible
for why some Idoma elites would choose to help
outsiders who would acknowledge and appreciate
the gesture, even when their benefactors are not
there.
These crop of elders are on the verge of shutting
doors of help, compassion, and mercy against the
youths. Having seen the gravity of the betrayal
and ineptitudes of the supposed elders, I’m sure
any Idoma guy would think twice before helping
his fellow Idoma.
For the records, I shall take the pains of bringing
to the knowledge of the general public, the
answers that have been missing. I volunteer to
abreast the public the answers to the questions
they have been asking, which has inadvertently
painted the Idoma land as the most unfortunate
and most underdeveloped nation in the comity of
nations.
This I shall do in phases – The list of those
whose appointments were facilitated by Senator
David Mark; the Constituency and personal
projects he has so far attracted to Zone C; List of
Beneficiaries of David Mark Scholarship Scheme;
List of employment into Federal Civil and Public
Services as well as list of those he supported
greatly in their elections.
In doing this, I shall seek your prayers and
solidarity as I embark on this onerous task.
Today, I shall start with the list of Appointments
influenced by Sen. David Mark. The list is
inexhaustible and I promise to update it as I
discover more names in the course of my
research work.
Let it also be known that I have never in any way
benefitted anything from the Distinguished
Senator and none of my family members is on the
list below.


Funnily enough and contrary to the insinuations
that Mark only empowered his immediate family
members, I have not yet seen anywhere at the
course of my research, any name related to
Senator Mark amongst the beneficiaries.
Finally, it’s very relevant to our knowledge that
each of the appointees below was entitled to
influencing appointments and employments of
tens of other idoma youths. However, research
shows that it was only Comrade Abba Moro,
Minister of Interior and Dr. Matthias Oyigeya,
Chief Medical Director, Federal Medical Center,
Makurdi that justified their positions as thousands
of Idoma Youths were employed under their
watch, courtesy Senator David Mark.

You forgot to mention that it was David Mark that facilitated my position as the second to the last child of Mr. Leo’s family and also the fact that it was David mark that approved your citizenship of Nigeria. Please you need to edit your post to include these and many more

He even forgot to write that ahubi ayikwwuta (david mark) made their fathers to marry thier mothers and influenced their births. 

I hope they will in return facilitate his re run election too.
