Five Senators Penciled For Removal For Not Backing Akpabio’s Senate Presidency Bid – Abbo

Senator Elisha Abbo who represented Adamawa North has alleged that five senators have been penciled for removal over their non-support of Godswill Akpabio’s senate presidency bid.

Abbo made the allegation at his residence in Abuja on Monday, while speaking with newsmen after the Court of Appeal nullified his election into the Senate.

The Senator during the press conference, listed Orji Uzor Kalu as one of the five senators set to be butted out of the red chambers for not supporting Akpabio’s bid.

He described the judgment sacking him as a coup on democracy, calling on his supporters not to be deterred by the ruling.

Senator Abbo maintained that despite the court declaring the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Amos Yohanna as the winner of the February election, he won the exercise.

According to him, he defeated the PDP candidate with a margin of 11,000 votes.
