Senate President D. Mark, warns APC to stop spreading falsehood(

 

THE Senate President David Mark, on Monday, asked the APC to stop spreading falsehood as regards the possible postponement of the next general election.

Mark, in a statement by his Media Adviser, Kola Ologbondiyan, said the statement credited to the APC, warning against a possible postponement of the 2015 election amounted to expanding the frontiers of falsehood and a disservice to Nigerians.

He said this in his reaction to the statement by APC national publicity secretary, Mohammed’s  which proved an obvious misrepresentation of his position by calling for a declaration of war on the Boko Haram, adding that APC’s interpretation of his position “was a bogus and blatant lie.”

He said the claim that he called for a postponement of the 2015 election was incorrect.

According to him, in the course of debate in the hallowed chambers of the Senate, he had insisted that the issue of insurgency must be addressed now and not election matters.

The statement read in part: “Unfortunately, among the arrays of national newspapers and reporters covering the Senate, only the Daily Trust reporter, Hassan A.Turaki misrepresented me and this has been further embellished by APC’s Mohammed.

“I do not need the misinterpretation of the Daily Trust or the embellishment of Alhaji Mohammed to give myself expression on any position that I hold. I did not call for election postponement.

“The 2015 general election is of importance not just to the Daily Trust and Alhaji Mohammed, but to every Nigerian and all true lovers of democracy.”
