The Benue South Zone C Senatorial
district re-run election between Senator David Mark and Comrade Daniel Onjeh
has been described as the battle of two tribes.
The two tribes are: the Idomas and
the Tivs.
A political analyst from Idoma land
who did not want to be named said “David Mark has always been a beacon of hope
to the Idoma people.
“He is seen as a threat by Tiv
politicians like George Akume.
“So for them, this election is about
weakening the Idomas and further reducing them to a political minority in Benue
State.
“If Tiv politicians like Akume can
get a yes man like Daniel Onjeh, then they would have pocketed Idomas for the
next couple of years.”
The re-run election takes place
February 20, 2016.
