SENATE President, David Mark, Tuesday, revealed that unknown to many people, he was attacked by supporters of the All Progressives Congress, APC, while on his way to the Eagles Square, to attend the inauguration of General Muhammadu Buhari, following his victory in the March 28 presidential election.

Senator Mark, who condemned the action of those he called “hooligans”, said it was against the spirit of peaceful transition from the then ruling party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to an opposition party, the APC.

The Senate President spoke while commenting on a similar submission made by Senator Boluwaji Kunlere, PDP, Ondo South, on physical assaults visited on some politicians across the country last Friday, during inauguration ceremonies for new governors across the country.

Kunlere had, in his contribution to a motion seeking the Senate to congratulate President Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on their successful and peaceful assumption of office last Friday, drawn the attention of senators to attacks meted out to some politicians at some of the inauguration ceremonies in some states level by followers and supporters of those being inaugurated.

The motion was sponsored by the Senate Leader, Victor Ndoma Egba, PDP, Cross River Central and 101 other senators.

But contributing to the motion, Mark, who said the hooligans damaged his windscreen, fumed that the ugly development was capable of damaging the image of the country in the eyes of the international community which had earlier commended Nigeria for the latest feat it attained in democracy through the conduct and outcome of the 2015 general elections.

He said as declared by Senator Kunlere, such attacks against perceived political opponents at such very important occasions were bad.

“I concur to what Kunlere said that politicians across the divides need to always tell their supporters to be cautious in their display of support and loyalty to them by not being unnecessarily overzealous at their inauguration into office to the point of attacking their perceived opponents at such occasions as I personally experienced here in Abuja last Friday when President Buhari and Vice President Osinbajo were to be inaugurated.

Ok sir...I take it in good fate

Sorry bro...
e don do oo

indeed dey r hooligans

Everybody claiming victim, even Mark.

The monsters they created via bad governance are fighting back!

Children of anger even while they are cause for celebration they we still do what they are known for.

I strongly condemn the act, but you are also reaping the dividends of democracy given to the hooligans.

l condemn such harassment but all these politicians have hooligans on their payrolls!

There's something called decorum these apc guys lack. They tried to bring dere hooliganism into enugu by protesting in front of enugu INEC office then lit tires on fires in the middle of the street and harassing passerbys. Thank God we have a "no nonsense" governor back then, jailed them all...bleeping noisy retards

misssclassy:
He sure like hell deserves it.

tell me how he deserved it.. because he's pdp? Or is he accused of stealing money? Pls, tell us all the reason for your vexation this time around.

I always say you guys are bitter people. GEJ didn't allow such nonsense during his time. He provided a peaceful environment for the opposition

Since 300bc u don dey chop government money.U wan die there? Since u want to die dia let them break your head then.

Politics of Bitterness

APC supporters are too radical and rascal....Smh

Bitter sets of people!!!

How can I believe this when there is no evidence....i am not saying it could be a lie, but showing the evidence to back it up would be better

Although I totally condemn such act, buh seems deh feel David Mark is a bad person and also unwanted.

I'm sure Midolian and his pack of croonies led that unwanton attack!


APC pawns!
