Gov. Bala Mohammed David Mark during his tenure as head of the National Assembly several years ago.
Speaking in Warji during the flagging off ceremony for the construction of Warji-Gwaram Road in Warji LGA of the State, Governor Mohammed said Senator Mark made a mark in his life as a senator and minister of the FCT.
The governor who recalled that he had no backing of his state when he emerged as FCT Minister, said the former Senate President stood behind him and supported his emergence.
“Mr. Mark made a mark in my life as a senator and minister of the FCT.
“I did not emerge from my state, that is the work of God. But he (David Mark) was instrumental to my becoming a minister.
“And when I was going for a second term, it was David mark who stood his ground and stood behind me and said Bala Mohammed must come back as FCT minister. I have never told anybody this. I have a deep sense of gratitude to him and to God who allowed it to be possible.”
Responding, the former President of the Senate, Senator David Mark said his tenure as one of the longest-serving Presidents of the senate would not have been possible without the support of Bala Mohammed.
