Former Senate President, David Mark, has denied receiving about N2billion from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) through a National Assembly account for distribution to senators in the build-up to the 2015 elections.
Senator Mark said this in a statement issued on Sunday by the media assistant, Paul Mumeh while reacting to his visit to the office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) last week.
The anti-graft agency had summoned the former lawmaker in a letter addressed to the National Assembly to answer questions on the 2015 presidential election campaign funds as it concerned Benue State.
Mumeh, however, said Mark only honoured the invitation as a law-abiding citizen to deny the allegation.
According to him, the statement is “the first and only official statement from the office of Mark on this issue.”
Mumeh insisted that the senator never received or distributed any money as claimed, adding that he had proven his innocence on the allegation before he left the EFCC office.
