Former Senate President David Mark, who is also one of the presidential aspirants of the Peoples Democratic Party , on Friday said the party would not disintegrate after its presidential primary .
He said those who believed there would be upheavals in the PDP after the primary would be disappointed at the appropriate time .

The senator boasted that instead of some people ’ s negative expectations and predictions , the party would emerge stronger and more united after the primary .

He also expressed confidence that the winner of the presidential primary would enjoy the support of other aspirants .

Addressing journalists at the party secretariat in Minna , the Niger State capital, Mark said aspirants seeking the presidential ticket have absolute confidence and faith in the party leadership in providing free , fair , credible and transparent primary .

He said , “ Nigerians need to stop presuming that there will always be problem . It is a presumption on the part of onlookers , not the participants , that there will be chaos . Those outside are the ones presuming that it is going to be explosive , but it will be free and fair . We the aspirants have every confidence in the party structure and hierarchy that they will organise a very free , fair , credible and transparent primary .

“ So do not bother too much ; I think we are over -reacting . PDP will have a very healthy primary and we have decided that the rest of us will unite solidly behind whoever emerges as the candidate . Whatever problem may emerge , we will resolve it among ourselves and come out stronger . ”

Addressing the party delegates , Mark urged them to vote for the best aspirant , while promising that he would ensure that PDP does not disintegrate if he becomes the president .
