The former Senate President, Senator David Mark, on Monday, charged the people of Agatu to support the re-election of Governor Samuel Ortom in 2019.

He said that God would not forgive them if they failed to do so considering his struggle for them.

Senator Mark made the call today in Obagaji, Agatu Local Government Area during the Peoples Democratic Party’s campaign tour of the council.

He was attacked in 2016 by herdsmen resulting in the loss of over 500 lives.

The former Senate president said that the governor had put his life on the line by signing the Open Grazing Prohibition and Ranches Establishment Law 2017.

Mark said that Ortom stood in the gap for the people of the state and urged them to give in return the good gesture by ensuring that no vote goes outside the PDP in the forthcoming elections.

He also stated that the Idoma nation has no option other than the PDP, even as he charged the traditional rulers to ensure that no single vote goes to another party emphasising that their votes should be protected as the ruling APC was planning to rig the elections.
