Senator Babafemi Ojodu has denied a report in This Day which quoted him as having said that the Senate President Senator David Mark called Senators to a meeting to request their support for the extention of the regime’s tenure.
Ojodu in a statement Thursday said “I never said that. What I said was that when we came back from last year’s summer break the president gave a speech where he said that left to him the defeat of Boko Haram should be the nation’s priority now and not an election.
He continued: “And I said from that moment on I began to feel that the elections as fixed for February may not hold since the nation may not have overcome Boko Haram by then. This was the only time I mentioned Mark in the close to 30 minutes speech that I gave.
Ojodu said “I called the reporter Mr Gboyega Adesanmi to complain about this early today at about 5.00am and he promised to make amends.
