Atiku Bids PDP To Discipline Senator Elisha For Assaulted Woman In Abuja
Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the last election, has called on his party to immediately discipline Adamawa North lawmaker, Senator Elisha Abbo.
He made the call this morning, less than an hour after the Senate set up a committee to investigate the senator who was caught on video beating up a shop attendant at a sex toy shop.
Atiku said in a Facebook post that the act was inexcusable, asking the senator to publicly apologize to the woman and present himself to the police.
The former Vice-President who Abbo once described as a father to him, said the law must take its course.
He said, “I have seen the alleged assault video involving Sen. Elisha Abbo. The video is sad, inexcusable. I know the Senator quite well. But the law is clear and leaders must lead by example.
”I advise him to publicly apologize, voluntarily go to the police and show a good example expected of a young leader. I also call on our party, the PDP, to take necessary disciplinary action and the Nigerian Police to ensure the law takes its full course.”
