AAA Fraudlent David Mark who has Never won a free and fair election in Benue south, who massively rigged Agatu, and was declared fake winner despite 30,000 votes cancelled in APC stronghold. This sham "election" will be cancelled again at the tribunal and appeal court. Killer David mark who's wife shared in the immigration blood money that saw over 21 young Nigerias dead!. Mark is obiously trying to silence the Agatu riggers to cover his rigging machine. Mark the blood of the innocent is on your hands! Your time will come. |
