A former President of the Senate, David Mark, has said he is less bothered about the nullification of his election as the representative of Benue South Senatorial District by the Court of Appeal on Saturday.
Mark equally if the election was to be conducted 100 times, he would defeat his opponent and candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Daniel Onjeh.
Mark, who said he won the March 28, 2015 election, contested on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party.
In a statement on Saturday by his spokesman, Paul Mumeh, the fifth term legislator called for calm over the ruling.
The court upturned his victory and ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to conduct a fresh election within 90 days.
But Mark said in the statement by Mumeh that his people love him and would stand by him again in the fresh election.
“I won the election clean and clear. If we go back to the polls 100 times, I will still win convincingly,” the statement read.
It added: “Whatever the situation may be, one thing I know is that my people are solidly behind me. They also appreciate the fact that I have done more than enough to lift up Idoma nation to a position of eminence in the contemporary political history of Nigeria.”
