Five Senators Face Removal for Not Supporting Akpabio’s Senate Presidency Bid – Senator Abbo

Abbo said this at his residence in Abuja, after the Court of Appeal nullified his election into the Senate.

The senator, who represented Adamawa North, 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.

While describing the judgment sacking him as a coup on democracy, ABBO maintained that despite the court declaring the Peoples Democratic Party 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 eleven thousand votes.

Recall the Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal yesterday, sacked Abbo.

The appellate court, in a unanimous decision by a three-member panel of Justices, vacated the tribunal judgement that earlier affirmed Abbo of the All Progressives Congress, as the valid winner of the Senatorial seat.
