Abbo Criticizes Judiciary Following Senate Seat Loss, Hints at Future Political Plans.
Senator Ishaku Abbo recently expressed his concerns over Nigeria’s judicial system after the Court of Appeal upheld the ruling that removed him from his senatorial seat. In his first statement since the ruling, Abbo described the decision as an affront to democracy, suggesting that the judiciary requires a comprehensive reform to uphold justice effectively and fairly. His statements reflect a broader critique, particularly in the context of electoral disputes, which he believes were mishandled in his case. Abbo, a member of the APC representing Adamawa North, lost his position to PDP candidate Amos Yohanna following the court’s conclusion that there was non-compliance with certain electoral requirements.
Despite the loss, Abbo mentioned his intention to remain politically active and hinted at future ambitions without yet specifying his exact plans. He emphasized that this legal setback would not deter his continued involvement in politics.
