The Nigerian social media experienced a meltdown on Monday as constituents and supporters of former Senate President; Senator David Mark took to Twitter to highlight some of his key constituency projects.
Tweeting via the hashtag #MarkOfImpact, the Twitter users highlighted several projects from roads, bridges, schools, water to dams using graphic images of the work done and in some cases ongoing. The numerous achievements left a lot of critics astonished as the usual smear campaigns against the Benue South politician claimed he did nothing for his people.
Below are some of the tweets that featured prominently during the Twitter trend, which was trending amongst the top 5 Twitter hashtags in Nigeria on Monday.
