DAVID MARK CALLS MINISTER OF INFORMATION, MAKU, STUPID

David Mark

Labaran Maku

 The  Senate President, Senator David Mark on Tuesday described President Jonathan’s government spokesman as a stupid person, the Minister of information, Labaran Maku, as a stupid person.

Mark was reacting to comments made last week by Minister Labaran Maku that “National Assembly resolutions are merely advisory” while fielding questions on the national assembly’s resolutions on the suspended planned introduction of new N5000 note by the central bank of Nigeria, CBN.

Mark described Maku’s comment as a careless talk. His words: “He (Maku) didn’t think properly. I think the information minister is a careless talker. It was a careless talk. I hope that the president cautions him and calls him to order. He shouldn’t educate us; we should educate him. For any minister who talks that carelessly next time, we will take a resolution asking the President to sack him. For those who ask ministers to bow and go when they come here for screening, this should be a hard lesson.”

Hmm, that was harsh. Another session of chair-throwing-bottle-breaking-agbada-tearing episode in the house brewing.
