The Member representing Apa/Agatu Federal Constituency and Chairman, House Committee on National Inland Waterways, Chief. Hon. Pst Ojotu Ojema FESMI, congratulates Former Nigerian President of the Senate, Distinguished Senator Dr. David Alechenu Bonaventure Mark GCON on his 77th Birthday Celebration.
In a strong worded Congratulatory Message he personally signed, the Aboh-OcheK’Idoma showers encomium on the OkpokpowuluK’Idoma for his immense contributions to the final Restoration and Development of Democracy in Nigeria.
“I can not forget soon, the introduction of the “Doctrine of Necessity” that ended a Power Vacuum that was created due to illness of Former President Musa Yar’Adua of blessed memory in 2010, an action that did not only save our Democracy but has also strengthened and taken it to an echelon height”.
“I can also recall how you and other patriots were being hunted by former military era because of your unwavering Stand and Agitation for a Democratic System”, Ojema re-echoed.
The Performing and Award-winning Federal Lawmaker praises Senator Mark for his astute leadership at the Red Chamber, that transmogrified him as the longest serving Leader of the National Assembly in the history of Democracy in Nigeria.
The Op’UgboK’Apa/Agatu acknowledges Senator Mark’s massive employment opportunities he created for the teeming youths and placement of Benue South sons and daughters in strategic positions.
Pst Ojema prays God to continue to protect, guide and bless Senator Mark, wishing him a very splendid Birthday Celebration.
