As the clock ticks for the 2015 presidential election, more gladiators are battle ready for the soul of Nigeria.
One
of those who may likely take over the mantle of leadership from
Goodluck Jonathan is the current president of the senate, Senator David
Aleichenu Bonaventure Mark.
We can authoritatively confirm that
the Okpokpowulu of Idomaland is currently warming up to spearhead the
affairs of the country, come 2015.
DailyPost over the weekend stumbled on presidential campaign posters of Mark being printed at Shomolu area of Lagos state.
The posters had a picture of Mark donned in a red and black traditional Idoma cap over a black and white apparel.
Above
the poster, which is on a green and orange background, was a bold
inscription, “Mark of Hope 2015.” Beneath the inscription is another was
also written “David Mark for President 2015,” with the logo of the
ruling party on both sides.
The poster, which is courtesy of
Concerned Middle Belt for Better Nigeria (CMBBN) carries another
inscription thus: “Mark my words, Nigeria will be better again.”
It would be recalled that the Idoma people in Benue State had since tipped Mark as the next President of Nigeria come 2015.
His
ambition which had been an open secret in political aisle reverberated
during a reception in his honour by the Idoma League of Professors, ILP,
led by Prof. Owoicho Akpa, with Mike Omeri, a former special adviser to
the Senate President, when they had canvassed for Senator Mark’s
Presidency at the next general election; arguing that the Senate
President had the pedigree to lead the nation after President Goodluck
Jonathan.
Effort to reach Mark’s Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Paul Mumeh proved abortive as his phone rang endlessly without answer.
