Embattled senator Elisha Abbo from Adamwa North Senatorial District, has issued an apology for his claims that Senate President Godswill Akpabio planned to have him dismissed by the Court of Appeal.
premature report
In an interview with Arise Television on Wednesday, Abbo expressed his regret. He declared, “I have to confess that the news statement we made yesterday was premature and based on the facts at our disposal. I say this with the utmost humility and accountability.
“As of today, we have learned a lot, and I spoke with the Senate President last night, and I am convinced that he is not involved,” said the researcher.
According to what Akpabio is alleged to have said to him, “I swear by my mother’s grave that I’m not involved; I don’t even know that you’re in court.
The real truth
Abbo continued, “For a number three citizen to come up to tell me that he has sworn on his mother’s grave, a woman that he loves so much, a woman who brought him up after he lost his father at the age of six, I don’t see a reason why he would lie.”
Jerrymusa.com reports that the Abbo election has been declared invalid by the Abuja-based Appeal Court on Monday, October 16. The People’s Democratic Party’s Amos Yohanna was proclaimed the victor of the Senate race on February 25 by the appellate court.
Abbo attributed his misfortune to the Senate President. He claimed that Akpabio was to blame for the ruling against him in court.
