David Mark vows to stay in PDP despite Defeat in Presidential Polls
The Nigerian Senate President, David Mark, had refuted rumours that he may join the All Progressive Congress, while also affirming his loyalty to the Peoples Democratic Party.
Mark was speaking at a special church service held to mark his 67th birthday at the St. Mulumba Catholic Chaplaincy Apo in Abuja on Wednesday.
He said, “I have no reason to jump ship. I will not leave the PDP. I will be the last man standing for the PDP. The party gave me the platform to be where I am today.
“I will stay in the PDP to contribute my quota to the rebuilding and restructuring of the party.”
He noted that it was normal that in a democracy, winners must emerge while the losers go back to the drawing board and rejuvenate.
“The outcome of the presidential election in favour of APC is the will of God and majority of Nigerians. We, in the PDP have accepted the result in good faith.
“Those drifting to the APC now are fair weather friends of the PDP. They are seeking new green areas. When the PDP bounces back, they will seek another return to the PDP.
“I believe in PDP manifestos . I will work hard to bring the party back on track. What is important is that we have established democracy in Nigeria.”
