Mark Denies Alleged Presidential Ambition

President of the Senate, Senator David Mark has denied
an alleged presidential ambtion linked to him.

Mark described the recent publications promoting the
alleged Presidential ambition by 2015

as mischievious and irresponsible, on the note that such
are only centred on the desire to breed disaffection between the President and
commander – in – Chief of the Armed Forces, President Goodluck Jonathan and
President of the Senate, David Mark.

According to a release signed by the Special adviser to
the Senate President on Media, Kola Ologbodion, the group had consistently
chosen to ‘on their own ‘ announce the said ambition for Senator whose SA said
for now just like President Jonathan holds to hearth the task of providing
Nigerians with dividends of democracy.

His words “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”.

The said publications , Mr Ologbodion said hs been
unnecessarily heating the polity and distracting Nigerians even as the senate
president is only focusing on goving the federal legislature a qualitative
leadership for our nation and urged mischief makers not to distract him.

The press have recently and even before now been
inundated with Senator Marks unveiled eye for Aso Rock seat.
