Senator David Mark, the
Senator representing Benue South, was yesterday, March 2, 2016, sworn-in into
the Senate for a record 6th time. The Appeal Court sitting in Markurdi nullified
the election of the former Senate President last year and he was declared
winner of the re-run election held on Saturday, February 20, 2016. Senator Mark
was sworn in at exactly 11:00am on March 2, 2016, in the hallowed chamber by
the Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki after taking the traditional oath of
office and allegiance.
Shortly after the swearing in, Senators at the plenary session rose in solidarity with Senator Mark as they took turns to hug and exchanged banters with him.
He is the only Nigerian to have contested a Senatorial position six times, won and was sworn in accordingly. He was Senate President from 2007 to 2015.
