Sen. Bukola Saraki
The Chairman, Senate Committee on Environment and Ecology, Senator Bukola Saraki, had denied being part of any plot against the senate leadership.
Saraki, in a statement, expressed shock at reports that some Peoples Democratic Party, PDP senators, who lost out in the last primary were planning to remove Mark.
Saraki said: “We like to state categorically and unequivocally that Senator Abubakar Bukola Saraki, the Senator representing Kwara Central Senatorial district of Kwara State, has no knowledge or being part of any plan by a group of Senators or any individual for that matter about the said publications and he will not be a party to such for any reason.
“It is our candid opinion and belief that any Senator that loses his bid to return to the Senate should lay on his bed. 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.
“Hence the reason why there was a reasonable turnover in the Senate in the 2011 election,” the ex-governor added.
