Ex NUJ President Challenge David Mark To A Public Debate Over Helipad House

The controversy surrounding the alleged House owned by Senate President ,David Mark in his country home in Oturkpo which had a helipad seems not to go away.

The picture posted by former Nigerian Union of Journalists President ,Comrade Lanre Ogundipe has generated a whole lot of controversies.

The news which CKN Nigeria break based on the post on Comrade Ogundipe’s facebook spread like wild fire.

Based on the publication , the Special Adviser on Media to the Senate President,Kola Ologbondiyan debunked the authenticity of the picture,saying it was not that of his boss.

This was David Mark’s response to the allegation:

“Dear Comrade Lanre Ogundipe, the picture you posted on your facebook wall is not the residence of the President of the Senate, Senator David Mark. It is not it at all. You have misled a whole lot of Nigerians with this photograph of yours. I cannot fathom the reasons behind this your action but whatever they are, they are completely misplaced.
Countless Nigerians that know the residence of Senator Mark in Otukpo consider your action as a huge mischief least expected of the height you attained as my very senior professional colleague.
Among the Yorubas, where you have your origin, elders don't tell lies. But I truly don't know how to describe this your needless act. It is a bogus lie, a well calculated attempt to bring Senator Mark to disrepute and disservice to the very profession in which you made a mark in the past.Facts are sacred, sincere and universal.”
Kola Ologbondiyan  (SA Media, To Senate President , Mark David)

Comrade Ogundipe has replied David Mark and challenges him to a public debate on the house.

Here was his response to David Mark’s Media aide.

“I would not have bothered dignifying Kola Ologbondiyan with a response but for submission that I should prove beyond doubts (the authenticity of the picture).

I will give few points to drum home that I am sure of the point raised. Let me state here that I challenged Kola and his boss-Sen David Mark to an open debate on this social media network or any other medium of his choice to ascertain the facts in respect of this photograph. Let Kola tell the whole world who pilot the chopper in question? Two, he should please tell us who owns the house? I am aware that few of our colleagues have been to the house before which Kola cannot deny. Since he said I lied.....he has to show/tell us who is the owner of the house. He not forget to tell which other means of transport does his principal travel with when his boss visit the village? The playing field of the primary school close to his has often served as hanger point. Ask Kola to controvert all these.”
