A national daily newspaper ha reported that ``the plan of those pressuring the VP is to create a situation where he would resign for the Senate President David Mark to take over for three months and then organise elections in the event that the President is unable to complete his term''.
A press statement issued by the Senior Special Assistant, Media and Communication to the Vice-President, Ima Niboro, urged Nigerians to discountenance the report, according to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
``We have read with considerable dismay, the story …. published today, Nov. 28 and wish to point out straightaway that it is false in its entirety.
``This story, we must add, is sheer mischief and dwells entirely in the imagination of its authors, their sponsors and co-travellers.
``This is wild and quite insulting claim requires no further elaboration. Certainly, the general public can discountenance such drivel.
``We urge all well meaning Nigerians to continue to give support to the President Yar’ Adua administration.
``As the Vice-President noted yesterday, and was widely reported in the media, the president is okay, and there is no cause for alarm,'' the statement stressed.
