Additionally, the official warned the public against voting for the All Progressives Congress saying it would bring only negative change.

Steven Lawani, the deputy governor of the state, promised votes for the ruling party. He stated that the Idoma people had benefited from Jonathan-led administration more than from any other.
It should be noted that Mark has on several occasions reiterated his commitment to creating Apa state.

“As we continue to strive to attain set objectives, I would want to affirm that if you my people ask me to lay down my life for the growth, sustenance and and stability of democracy and for the creation of Apa state, I will willingly do that, because without you, there is no me.”

“Even if it takes my last breadth, I want to pursue the creation of state. I will put in my last breadth to ensure the creation of Apa state for my people.”
