This was just as mark congratulated four House of Representatives members elected as flag bearers of the party in his Benue South Senatorial District.
For Senator Mark: “We should renew faith in the PDP.

The four elected PDP flag bearers for 2015 House of Representatives in his constituency are Samson Okwu (Obi/Oju), Ezekiel Adaji (Otukpo /Ohimini), Adamu Entonu (Agatu/Apa) and Chris Abah (Ado/Okpokwu/Ogbadibo).
Senator Mark told them after the PDP primaries on Saturday that their integrity, experience and track records of achievements earned them the mandate of the delegates.
He however enjoined them to extend the olive branch to those who lost in the elections so that everybody would be on board of the PDP sailing ship to victory in 2015.
Senator Mark implored his constituents to remain steadfast with the PDP as the ideal vehicle that is capable of delivering dividends of democracy to all Nigerians without segregation.
To all those who lost at the primaries, the Senate president advised them to rally round the winners to ensure victory at the general elections.
He said: “The umbrella is large enough to accommodate every member of the party.”
He told his people to exhibit the same good behaviour in the remaining stages of the elections.
