Information reaching us revealed that Governor of Benue State, Dr. Gabriel Suswam, yesterday announced that the Benue South Senatorial District seat currently occupied by the President of the Senate, Senator David Mark would not be vacant in 2015.
According to New Telegraph, the governor, who spoke at the public presentation of a book: Suswam, Politics and Governance in Benue State”, said Mark had done so well in the last twelve years that he deserved another term at the upper chamber of the National Assembly.
Suswam urged other political aspirants from the district not to waste their time contesting for the seat in the next parliamentary elections. Addressing a crowded audience in Senate, majority of whom were Benue indigenes at a book presentation in Abuja ,Suswam maintained that Mark’s seat at the Senate was not contestable.
According to the governor, the Senate President has performed creditably and it is only logical that we give him the needed support and encouragement to continue the good works in the upper legislative Chamber. “We in Benue State have endorsed the candidature of Mark to return to the Senate.
The position of Senator Mark is not contestable. We want him back and there is no question or argument about it. Mark remains our choice. There is no vacancy. Our decision to return him to the Senate in 2015 is irrevocable,” Suswam said.
