DAVID MARK VOWS TO REMAIN IN PDP

• Says defectors are fair weather friends
Senate President David Mark has said he will remain a loyal member of the Peoples Democratic Party, despite the fact that the party lost the March 28 presidential election and looks set for yet another tough contest in the governorship contests on Saturday.
Mark who stated this on Tuesday during his 67th birthday celebration mass at the Catholic Chapel in his Abuja residence, stressed that those who defected from the PDP to All Progressive Congress were fair weather friends.
He maintained that his confidence in his party remained unshaken, adding that, “If I will be the last man standing, I will remain in PDP, defectors are fair weather friends.
“I have always assured you that I would do only those things that are honest in the eyes of my brothers and sisters.“Whatever I have achieved today, it’s because you always remember me in your prayers.
“I have heard by way of rumor that I am decamping to APC, if I would be the last man standing, I would remain in PDP.
“The rumor is an unnecessary fabrication.
“I heard a newspaper said I am planning to decamp to APC, media men must verify cases before they publish such. I will remain in PDP and we will try to restructure it.
“In politics, there must always be a winner and loser; this is not anything new to us.”
