BY PETER DURU
MAKURDI – As the results of the presidential
and National Assembly elections held Saturday
trickles in, the result of the senatorial race in
the Benue South Senatorial district shows that
the Senate President, David Mark has taken a
clear lead in six out of the nine local
government areas, LGAs, that make up the
district.

Results so far garnered by Vanguard at the
collation centre in Otukpo shows that the six
LGAs won by Mark included Ogbadibo, his APC
opponent, Daniel Onje’s hometown, where he
polled 8,102 votes to Onje’s 5,669 votes.
The results further shows that the Senate
President also led in Ado, Otukpo, Okpokwu,
Ohimini and Agatu local government areas.
A break down of the senatorial results shows
