The former vice president and 2019 Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the last election, Atiku Abubakar, has called on his party to immediately discipline of the Nigerian youngest senator Senator representing Adamawa North District in the National Assembly, Senator Elisha Abbo.
According to Punch, this comes 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 s*x toy shop.
Atiku said in a Facebook post that the act was inexcusable.
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.”
