Sack Allegation: Abbo Apologises To Akpabio
The Senator representing Adamawa North Senatorial District, Elisha Abbo, has apologised to the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio over his allegation that the number three citizen plotted his removal by the Court of Appeal.
Osun Defender had reported that Abbo in a press conference after his sacking by the Appeal Court, alleged Akpabio of being behind his hurdle because he didn’t support his senate presidency bid.
But Abbo while speaking in an interview on Arise Television on Wednesday, apologised to the senate president.
He noted that Akpabio had made him understand he wasn’t involved in the court judgment.
Backtracking, he said: “I have to say this with all sense of humility and responsibility that the press release we issued yesterday was premature and based on the available information at our disposal yesterday.
“As of today, we have discovered a lot of things, and yesterday night I had a discussion with the Senate president, and I am convinced that he is not involved.
He quoted Akpabio: “I swear by my mother’s grave that I’m not involved; I don’t even know that you’re in court.”
Abbo further stated: “For a number three citizen to come up to tell me that he has sworn on his mother’s grave, a woman that he loves so much, a woman who brought him up after he lost his father at the age of six, I don’t see a reason why he would lie.”
