Nigeria's Senate president, Senator David Mark, Monday wept as he accepted the 2015 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) nomination form from his Benue South senatorial constituents to return to the Senate next year for a record 5th time having being in the red chamber since 1999. This makes him one of the longest serving  senators in Nigeria.

Nine local government council chairmen in Benue South senatorial district had purchased the party nomination form in Makurdi, the state capital yesterday, urging Mark to run for the Senate as their sole candidate.
