After his defeat at the Court of Appeal, the former Senate President, Senator David Mark has instructed his constituency to remain calm and law abiding. According to his Media Aide, Paul Mumeh, he believed that he won the election convincingly and have no doubt that his constituents would turn out en masse to vote for him again.


"What ever the situation may be, one thing I know is that my people are solidly behind me. They also appreciates 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,” Senator Mark stated.  I won the election clean and clear. If we go back to the polls 100 times, I will still win convincingly."


The Appeal Court ordered a fresh election for Benue South Senatorial District won by Senator Mark of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) against Daniel Onjeh of All Progressive Congress (APC).
