N/ Assembly ‘corrects’ portrait showing Mark as Senate president

The portrait of the immediate past Senate president, David Mark, at the National Assembly, which was reading “Senate President from 2007 to date” has been corrected.
Our correspondent had exclusively reported that the portrait of Sen. Mark at the entrance of the new wing of the Senate was showing that the Benue senator was still the Senate president.
 Mark’s tenure as Senate president terminated when Senator Bukola Saraki (APC, Kwara Central) emerged as the Senate president last June, when the 8th Senate was inaugurated.
Our correspondent reports that Mark, who had been at the Upper Chamber since 1999, was the 12th Senate President and had reigned for eight years (2007 to 2015).
Yesterday, our correspondent observed that a white strip of paper with the inscription “Senate President 2007 to 2015” was pasted over the former inscription in the portrait.
