The Court of Appeal in Abuja has handed down a verdict leading to the removal of Senator Ishaku Elisha Abbo from his position as the representative of Adamawa North Senatorial District in Adamawa State at the Nigerian 9th National Assembly.
Senator Elisha Abbo, who had previously been associated with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), made headlines when he defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) following his initial term as Senator. However, this political move was soon met with legal challenges.
Senator Abbo had contested the outcome of the 2023 senatorial election in the same court, seeking to overturn the results. The recent ruling by the Court of Appeal has delivered a resounding blow to his aspirations, affirming the legitimacy of the election results and marking a new chapter in the political landscape of Adamawa North Senatorial District.
The removal of Senator Abbo from office is expected to have significant implication for the representation of Adamawa North Senatorial District in the Nigerian National Assembly. This development underscores the dynamic and ever-evolving nature of the country’s political landscape.
