The troubled lawmaker acknowledged his removal from the legislative body in a post shared on his official Facebook page on Monday.
Abuja, Nigeria – The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has invalidated the election victory of Senator Ishaku Abbo, representing Adamawa North Senatorial District in the National Assembly.
In a unanimous decision by a three-member panel of Justices, the appellate court overturned the tribunal’s ruling that had previously upheld Abbo of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the rightful winner of the Senatorial seat.
The appellate court ruled that there was validity in an appeal filed by Amos Yohanna, the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the election.
In the meantime, the troubled lawmaker acknowledged his removal from the legislative body in a post shared on his official Facebook page on Monday.
He, however, appealed to his supporters and constituents to maintain composure.
