Senate President Godswill Akpabio has dismissed claims by former Adamawa North Senator, Ishaku Elisha Abbo, that he influenced the removal of five senators from the 10th Senate.
Abbo’s Allegations
During an interview on Channels Television, Abbo accused Akpabio of running the Senate like a personal empire.
He claimed the Senate President targeted lawmakers who opposed him.
Akpabio’s Response
- Through his media aide, Hon. Eseme Eyiboh, Akpabio rejected the accusations, calling them baseless and misleading.
- The statement emphasized that Abbo was removed by the Court of Appeal after due legal process.
- It reaffirmed that Akpabio had no role in judicial decisions leading to Abbo’s removal.
- The Senate President remains committed to nation-building and will not be distracted by political theatrics.
Judicial Ruling & Public Perception
The Court of Appeal ruled that Abbo’s election was invalid, leading to his ouster.
Akpabio, a lawyer and democrat, respects judicial independence and does not interfere in court processes.
The statement also referenced Abbo’s past controversies, including a 2019 assault case, suggesting a pattern of misconduct.
