The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja, on Monday, nullified the election victory of Senator Ishaku Elisha Abbo.
It was recalled that Senator Abbo, a candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), was declared winner of the March 25 at the National Assembly election to represent Adamawa Northern Senatorial District.
The Appeal Court consequently ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to withdraw the Certificate of Return issued to Senator Abbo and issue same to Rev. Amos Yohanna Kumai of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Reacting to the Monday judgement, Senator Abbo on his verified Facebook page, said, “The Court Appeal in Abuja just voided my election. The gang up has temporarily worked. I will soon address the press.”
It could be recalled that Senator Abbo became infamous when he brutalised a nursing mother at an Abuja sex toy shop.
