•Alleges Orji Kalu is Next to Go
Embattled Senator representing Adamawa North senatorial district, Ishaku Abbo on Monday said Senate President Godswill Akpabio Ochestrated his removal by the court.
Abbo, whose election was nullified by an appeal court in Abuja on Monday said he is being punished for standing against the election of Akpabio as the President of the 10th Senate.
He said other senators who fought against Akpabio are being targeted to leave the senate.
He listed Senator Orji Uzor Kalu as the next target whose election is to be nullified by the tribunal.
n 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 had above his closest river, Yohanna Amos Yohanna of the Peoples 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.
