Senate President, David Mark lambasted senators who emerged as governors in their states, stating that becoming a governor after being a senator is a downward slight and not an upgrade in politics.
While he was speaking in a plenary seating on Tuesday, June 2, 2015 he stated, “For our colleagues who have gone to become governor, my position is different.
“I think going from the Senate to becoming a governor is not a movement forward but a movement backward.
“Well, if you decide to move backward to sacrifice to work for your people, then we should also congratulate them.”
“But I think from the Senate we should look upwards, but in spite of that, some of our colleagues have gone to the states to assist in bringing development to their states, so I congratulate them also,” he finalised.
