The 5 of us were told that we will be impeached because we did not vote for Akpabio" Senator Abbo
Adamawa Senator Elisha Abbo told reporters on Monday that the Court of Appeal impeached him because he did not support the tenure of Senator Godwill Akpabio as Speaker of the House.
Abbo said he is not the only one who will be impeached by the court, there are four other people besides him who will also be impeached in court because they did not support Akpabio when he was running for the seat of Senate President.
Abbo said including Senator Orji Kalu.
The Court of Appeal on Monday impeached Senator Abbo who represents Adamawa North in the Senate.
The court said that according to the appeal filed by Abbo's PDP candidate Amos Yohanna in the Court of Appeal, he won the election.
The Court of Appeal, after hearing both sides, agreed that according to section 137 of the 2022 Electoral Act, the results presented clearly show that the Electoral Act was not followed.
The court then removed the votes that were cast against Abbo and it was found that Yohanna and the PDP won the election with the majority of legitimate votes cast.
And the court ordered the election commission to withdraw the election victory certificate it had given to Abbo and hand it over to Yonana of PDP.
In the end Abbo said, "I will be patient, since there is no place for me to go next." It's only two years, I'll be back and I'll win.
If we don't forget that since he was a member of the House of Representatives, Senator Abbo was accused of assaulting a girl who sells obscene material in Abuja.
