How Senate President, Akpabio Swore On His Mother’s Grave To Prove He Wasn’t Involved In My Sack – Senator Elisha Abbo

The sacked Adamawa State federal lawmaker, Senator Ishaku Elisha Abbo, has apologised to the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio, who he accused of being behind his sack from the 10th Senate by the Court of Appeal.

SaharaReporters on Monday reported that Senator Abbo who was elected to represent Adamawa Northern Senatorial District on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) was sacked by the Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja.

The Court had accordingly 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).

But after his sack by the court, Senator Abbo accused Senate President, Akpabio, of being behind the nullification of his election by the Court after he (Senator Abbo) kicked against his emergence as Senate President.

Abbo specifically mentioned Senator Orji Uzor Kalu (APC Abia North) as the next target for removal from the Senate.

But Senator Akpabio had described as unfortunate the allegation by Senator Abbo, saying that he had no hand in Abbo’s sack by the court.

Featuring on Arise News Television’s News Night on Tuesday, Senator Abbo apologised to Senator Akpabio, saying that the press statement he issued where he accused the Senate President of being responsible for his sack was premature.

He said, "I have to say this with all sense of humility and responsibility, that the press release that we rendered yesterday (Monday) was premature and based on the available information in our disposal yesterday.

"But as of today, we have discovered a lot of things yesterday and yesterday night I also had a discussion with the Senate President, my brother, my colleague, Senator Akpabio and I am convinced that he is not involved.

"This is because we met yesterday and let me go by his word, 'Senator Abbo, I swear on my mother's grave that I am not involved in this. I don’t even know you are in the court'.

"For number three citizen to come up to tell me that he has sworn on his mother's grave, a woman that he loves so much and a woman brought him up after he lost his father at the age of six, I don't see a reason why he will lie. 

"Today (Tuesday), the addition intelligence trickled in and we have abundant information. So, this morning after our discussion with the Senate President yesterday, I apologised to him yesterday.

"It is only honourable, virtuous that when something is wrong, you have to clear his name and yes, we acted on this in error because of available information in our disposal yesterday (Monday), Mr President, my distinguished brother and friend, I am sorry, you are not involved.

"I believe every word you said because I know how much you value your mother."

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the unions
