The attention of the Office of the President of the Senate has been drawn to news reports alleging that security details attached to the President of the Senate, Senator David Mark, were responsible for the use of teargas on the person of the Speaker, House of Representatives, Alhaji Aminu Waziri Tanbuwal, at the National Assembly premises on 20th<\/sup>\u00a0November, 2014 and credited to SP.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Idachaba James, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of National Assembly.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>We wish to state without equivocation that the security details attached to the President of the Senate, Senator David Mark, did not and could not have attacked the person of Speaker Tambuwal with teargas.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>We find the reports credited to SP.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Idachaba that security details of Senator Mark attacked Speaker Tambuwal with teargas as absolute falsehood, dubious, vexatious, horrible and embarrassing.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>The events of November 20th, 2015 are very fresh and any attempt to re-write or misrepresent them will not stand.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>SP.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Idachaba James, who claimed not to have been present at the scene of the incident but only relied on hearsay, must not be allowed to embark on a name calling exercise.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>It is also imperative to state that any attempt to create a needless feud between the two chambers of the National Assembly is mischievous and wicked<\/span><\/div>\n
