Senator Bukola Saraki, former Governor of Kwara state has kicked against the planned impeachment of Senate President David Mark.
A statement issued on Monday by Tambuwal read, "The attention of the office of Senator Bukola Saraki has been drawn to a publication made in some national dailies, especially Leadership Newspaper, Thisday Newspaper and The Nation Newspaper respectively; wherein it was stated that about forty-nine Senators who lost out in their return bid to the senate had planned to remove Senator David Mark and replace him with either Senators Saraki or Akume.
"We like to emphatically state categorically and unequivocally that Senator Abubakar Bukola Saraki, the Senator representing Kwara Central Senatorial district of Kwara State has no knowledge or being a part of any plan by group of Senators, political caucus or any individual for that matter about the said publication in the afore mentioned dailies; and he will not be a party to such for any reason.
"Sequel to this, It is our candid opinion and believe that any Senator that has lost his bid to return to the Senate should lay on his bed as the case may be and not result to sponsorship of canard and divisive ideas and information; hence, individual Senator should bear their own cross.
"It is a common knowledge that when Senator Saraki was the Chairman of Governors' Forum, he fought with his colleagues to ensure that at least, each state of the Federation returns one Senator, which explains why there was a reasonable turnover in the Senate in 2011 election.
"Senator Saraki is of the view that if truly the senators who lost out in their return bid wanted to take up any matter with leadership of the Senate, they would have been done long time ago when some matters of public importance and national interest were handled in a manner short of democratic expressions by the Senate Leadership but most of them turned a blind eye because of their personal ambitions.
"In view of the above, we will like to strongly inform the general public, supporters and well wishes of Senator Bukola Saraki across the nation and beyond, that Senator Saraki is not in support of Senator David Mark's impeachment and he would not be a party to such move if made by any Senator.
