The President of the Senate, Senator David Mark, has dissociated himself from posters linking him with the 2015 presidential election.
Mark, in a statement by his spokesman, Kola Ologbodiyan, said that the posters, which again recently flooded Abuja, were the handiwork of mischief makers bent on causing disaffection between him and President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.
The statement by Ologbodiyan reads in full: “Our attention has been drawn to the actions of some mischief makers who are bent on causing disaffection between President Goodluck Jonathan and the President of the Senate, Senator David Mark.
“The trade mark of this group is to consistently announce a presidential ambition or interest on behalf of the President of the Senate.
“For this set of mischief makers, the premises of the National Assembly is either flooded with ” Mark for President” forms or distinguished senators are forming groups to canvass the said presidential interest. Nothing can be farther from the truth.
“It is imperative to state and emphatically too, that Senator Mark and President Jonathan are on the same page in the onerous task of providing democratic dividends for Nigerians.
“It is therefore irresponsible, mischievous and misplaced for any set of Nigerians to embark on over heating the polity at this time of our national history.
“The Senate President is faced with providing qualitative legislative leadership for our nation and urged mischief makers not to distract him.”
