Former Senate President, David Mark has urged Benue State Governor, Hyacinth Alia, to be magnanimous in victory, following his victory at the Supreme Court.
OsunDailyNG reports that the apex court validated the March 2023 Electoral victory of Alia as the winner of the governorship election in Benue after the opposition party’s candidate the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, had challenged the outcome of the exercise.
In a statement by his media adviser, Mr Paul Mumeh, in Kano on Sunday, the ex-senate president urged Alia to carry everyone along in the interest of the development of Benue, asking him to be a father to all.
He equally urged the governor to strengthen the security network and promote peace, unity, and welfare of all citizens of the state.
“I extend my heartfelt congratulations to you and your Deputy Governor, Sam Odey, as well as your team on the recent electoral victory and the successful resolution of the court case.
“Your leadership, dedication, and the support of the people have resulted in this triumphant moment, and I want to express my admiration for your unwavering commitment to public service,” he said.
He described the positive outcome of the court case as a testament to the integrity and strength of Alia’s campaign and the affirmation of the people’s mandate through the democratic process.
