Senator Abbo Reacts To Court Ruling Barring Him From Contesting Senatorial Election, Reveals Next Move

Elisha Abbo, the senatorial candidate for Adamawa North in the upcoming general election, has been sacked by a Yola High Court.

It also prevented the All Progressives Congress (APC) from recognizing him as such.

Justice Danladi Mohammed ruled on Monday that Senator Abbo is not eligible to run for re-election because he has been expelled from the party.

Justice Danladi ruled that the embattled Senator and the APC are bound by the resolution of the party’s Mubi North local government executives dated 7th October 2022, which expelled the lawmaker, and thus he is not entitled to any right or privilege accorded to APC members.

It also prevented Sen. Abbo from running as the party’s candidate for the zone.

But Senator Abbo has faulted the ruling, describing it as a cash-and-carry judgement. He told Channels Television that the Court is said to be the last hope of the common man but claimed that where it becomes cash and carry affair, it cannot be described as such.

According to him, it is a bought-over judgement because those who purportedly expelled him from the party are not local government party executives and therefore have no jurisdiction to do so.

He claimed that only the ward executives of the party, according to the APC constitution, have the right to punish any erring member and not the local government or even the state exco.

Senator Abbo argued that the presiding judge had once issued a restraining order on the local government exco from parading themselves as such. The lawmaker said he will take the case to the Court of Appeal and also called on his supporters to disregard the ruling.
