The embattled senator representing Adamawa North senatorial district, Elisha Abbo, has accused Senate President Godswill Akpabio of being behind his removal from office by appeal court.
The lawmaker made this disclosure while reacting to a court’s ruling which nullified the election that brought him in as the senator representing Adamawa North.
Abbo, who made the claim in an interview with newsmen on Monday in Abuja claimed that four other senators who worked against the emergence of Akpabio as Senate President had been targeted for removal from the Senate through the court.
He said: “I have it from a reliable source that myself and four other senators within the fold of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) will be removed from the Senate through rulings from the courts, all because of working against the emergence of Akpabio as President of the 10th Senate.

“I won’t mention the names of all the four other ones targeted but the next in line is Senator Orji Uzor Kalu,”
He added: “The court judgement is strange and the judiciary needs to please remain the last hope of the common man,”
DAILY REPORT NG earlier reported that the Court of Appeal nullified Abbo’s election under the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and declared the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, platform, as the validly elected lawmaker for the senatorial district.
