As the main opposition political party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) heads to Port Harcourt, Rivers State capital to elect its presidential candidate on Saturday, one of the aspirants, David Mark, has warned that the continued corporate existence of Nigeria can only be guaranteed with him as democratically elected President.
He declared in a statement today, Thursday by his spokesman, Paul Mumeh: “A vote for me is a vote for the continuous corporate existence of Nigeria and the preservation of our brotherly heritage.”
David Mark, who was once the President of the Senate said: “my antecedent over the years, both in the military and political engagements, unarguably places me in a solid position to lead this effort. I also have enough experience in the Executive and Legislative Arms of Government to drive this mission for the well being of our beloved nation.
“I make bold to state that I am most prepared and ready to serve my fatherland. I WILL REMAIN THE LAST MAN STANDING FOR THE PARTY. I have kept faith with the party, I have been tried and tested and I remain steadfast.”
He reminded the PDP delegates to the presidential contest in Port Harcourt that time has come to find a lasting solution to the challenges facing Nigeria, adding that the 2019 presidential election presents them with a unique opportunity to effect this turn around.
“I have been with the party through thick and thin especially in our most trying moments after our defeat in 2015. Believing that we will overcome, I stood firm and committed myself to rebuilding and rebranding the party which to the glory of God is once more a very beautiful bride admired by all.
“I present myself as a worthy servant and vehicle for achieving the rescue mission of our dear country.
“In the words of Martin Luther King Jnr, “the ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience but where he stands in times of challenge and adversity”. I am your true servant. I will not let you down.
“My desire is to serve and be remembered as the agent that brought peace, unity and prosperity to all Nigerians.”
