PDP Blast David Mark For Praising President Buhari

PDP’s Social Media Director of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Deji Adeyanju has taken a swipe at former Senate President, David Mark and his former colleagues at the senate Stella Oduah and Ben Bruce for praising President Muhammadu Buhari. The former Senate President had in his Christmas message expressed his confidence in President Buhari to reposition the country and urged Nigerians to exercise patience.

Mr Adeyanju however said it was an act of cowardice for respected leaders who were supposed to provide a formidable opposition in Nigeria to be singing unnecessary praise for the president, especially Senator David Mark who he felt was doing so because of the fear of losing the forth coming Benue South rerun senatorial election.

“Suddenly, the respected David Mark, who has been a senator since the advent of democracy in 1999 and two time Senate President of our great nation, is suddenly afraid that if he does not patronize president Buhari and sing his praises he might not win the re-run election for his Benue South senatorial district.”

“It is disheartening to read some of the comments by people who are supposed to be strong opposition figures in our nation. What these our leaders do not seem to understand is that you do not patronize dictators or appeal to them.” Read excerpts of his press release.
