All Progressives Congress, APC’s Comrade Daniel Onjeh has warned that no amount of deception will save his Peoples Democratic Party, PDP opponent and Former Senate President, David Mark from imminent defeat in the forthcoming Benue South rerun senatorial elections.
Comrade Onjeh was responding to a Twitter campaign #IdomaAgenda in which some allegedly sponsored social media heavyweights highlighted his opponent’s achievements during his 16 year spell at the senate.
” #BenueSouthReRun: No amount of sponsored lies or deceit will save #DavidMark from his imminent colossal defeat come Feb,13th ! #IdomaAgenda ” He tweeted.
Similarly, a group, under the aegis of Ogigo K’Idoma, has warned the media team of immediate past Senate President, David Mark against using the social media to feed Nigerians with lies.
The group accused Mark of resorting to social media campaign in a desperate move to save his already sinking political career.
Ogigo K’Idoma was reacting to a social media trend, #IdomaAgenda, which has been highlighting the achievements of Mark on Twitter.
The group said it was unfortunate for Mark “to stoop so low by using the social media platform to feed the world with imaginary achievements that never existed in the constituency.”
A statement by secretary of the group, Maria Adoyi, said Mark’s decision to settle for social media campaign where he does not even have an account shows how desperate he had become.
According to her, “our attention has been drawn to an online trend, #Idomaagenda, which has been projecting the non-existing projects of Senator David Mark in Benue South on Twitter.
“It is laughable that the former Senate President and his team have resorted to social media to save his career by sending out lies to the general public.
“The money he used to start up the trend can feed over 100 families in our community.
“The faces behind trend claimed Mark single handedly tarred the Ochi’Idoma road and as well renovated the palace; meanwhile, the Och’Idoma Palace and the road remain in a sorry state. This can be verified.
“They claimed Mark has sponsored over 200,000 Idoma students in school without proving it. Where are the students?
“It is sad and unfortunate that Mark has refused to step down despite the advice from his kinsmen after 16 years.
“Anyone who cares to know more about Mark’s monumental failure should take a walk to Otukpo round about, Otukpo general hospital, Otukpo Otukpa road, Aho-Ukwo Owukpa road and see what they call Idoma agenda,” the group said.
Adoyi enjoined Idoma citizens to liberate themselves by voting out Mark in the forthcoming rerun.
