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 wherein it was stated that about forty nine Senators who lost out in their bid to return to the senate had planned to remove Senator David Mark and replace him with either Senator Saraki or Senator Akume.

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 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 ?as he found it, 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 2011 election.

Senator Saraki wish if truly the senators wanted to take up any matter with leadership of the Senate, it would have been done long time ago when some matters of public importance and or of national interest ?had been handled in a manner short of democratic expectation by the Leadership of the Senate but most turned a blind eye because of the personal ambitions.

In view of the above, we will like to inform the general public and our well wishers that Senator Saraki is not in support of Senator Mark?'s impeachment and he would not be a party to such move by any Senator.
