Senator Elisha Abbo has alleged that Godswill Akpabio is behind his sack at the appeal court ruling which removed him from representing Adamawa North Senatorial District over his nonsupport of his senate presidency bid.
The Court of Appeal in Abuja voided the election of Abbo of the All-Progressives Congress (APC).
In an interview with reporters on Monday in Abuja, Abbo specifically mentioned Senator Orji Uzor Kalu (APC Abia North) as the next target for removal from the Senate.
“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 said.
He wondered how with over 11,000 votes margin of victory he his closest river had above Yohanna Amos Yohanna of the People’s Democratic Party in the election, the Appeal Court upturned his victory.
“The court judgement is strange, and the judiciary needs to please remain the last hope of the common man,” Abbo said.
He, however, appealed to his supporters to remain calm, vowing to recontest in 2027.
