Blessing Onu-Mark, daughter of a former Senate President, David Alechenu Mark, has described her father’s political party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as dead and buried in Benue State.
Blessing stated this in Otukpo, Benue State at the weekend when she led other All Progressives Grand Allice (APGA) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) supporters to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Benue State, insisting that the party will take over Benue Government House come 2023.
Blessing, a lawmaker, represents Otukpo/Ohimini Federal Constituency of Benue State, won her election in 2019 on the platform of APGA; defeating the PDP and APC candidates.
Over hundreds of defectors from other parties also joined the APC and were given membership cards.
David Mark represented Benue South Senatorial District from 1999 to 2019, and was Senate President between 2007 and 2015 when PDP lost the presidential election to the APC.
