“All of us aspiring to be the PDP candidate for 2019 Presidential election are qualified, but we must seek for a candidate that has the strength of character to stand the test of time. Without being immodest, I am the candidate to beat,” Senator Mark stressed.
He urged Nigerians to remain steadfast with the PDP as the preferred option, pointing out that “events in the past three years under a different party has vindicated our party, the PDP as the hope for the people.”

Chairman of the State chapter of the PDP Francis Orogu extolled the sterling leadership qualities of Senator Mark and submitted that the Presidential aspirant is an asset needed to steer the ship of the Nation to prosperity.
