The
management of National Assembly has finally deleted the bio-data and
photographs of former Senate President, David Mark and eight other
senators from its website, our correspondents report. It would be
recalled that, Mark and 11 other senators that were sacked from the
Nigerian senate last year, 2015 by the Court of Appeal were being
paraded as serving lawmakers on the website of the National
Assembly.
Mark had been at the National Assembly since 1999, representing Benue South Senatorial District until November last year, 2015 when his election was nullified. He was Senate President from 2007 until his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lost control of the senate in 2015.
Checks on the website of the National Assembly yesterday showed that the bio-data and photograph of Mark who is set to contest with Daniel Onjeh, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate in the February 18 re-run election has been removed.

In
the same vein, the photographs and bio-data of Uche Lilian Ekwunife
who was also sacked late last year have been deleted on the website.
Until last weekend, she was being paraded as a serving senator
representing Anambra central on the website of the National
Assembly.
Others that were expunged from the website are: George Thompson Sekibo (PDP, Rivers East), Olaka Johnson Nwogu (PDP, Rivers South-East), Osinakachukwu Ideozu (PDP, Rivers West), Abdulrahman Abubakar (APC, Kogi east), and Mao Ohuabunwa (PDP, Abia North). However, Nneji Athan Achonu (PDP, Imo North), Mohammed Abdulsalami Ohiare (APC, Kogi Central) and Ighoyota Amori(PDP) Delta central) who were also sacked last year are still serving senators on the website.
While the pictures and bio-data of Achonu and Ohiare are still on the website, only the bio-data of Amori was seen there yesterday. Meanwhile, the bio-data of Abubakar Yusuf Abubakar who replaced Abba Marafa Bashir of the Taraba Central senatorial district in the senate has been uploaded. Our correspondents observed that his picture is yet to adorn the website.
