You're looking for scapegoats – Akpabio fires back at Sen Abbo

Senate President, Godswill Akpabio has refuted allegations that he is behind the dismissal of Adamawa North Senator, Elisha Abbo by the Court of Appeal.

Akpabio, in response to Abbo’s claim said he has no reason to witch-hunt the sacked lawmaker.

Abbo has accused Akpabio of being responsible for his removal after he was sacked by the Appeal Court.

He alleged that Senator Orji Uzor Kalu was Akpabio’s next target.

Reacting, Akpabio accused Abbo of looking for a scapegoat.

He disclosed this while speaking through his Media Aide, Eseme Eyiboh.

Addressing newsmen, Eyiboh said, “It is unfortunate if he actually said that Akpabio was responsible for his removal. That’s the swan song of a man looking for scapegoats.

“The Court of Appeal across the country decides cases based on the provisions of the Electoral Act and evidence advanced by petitioners. The Senate President has no reason to witch-hunt any of his colleagues.”

Abbo was among the Senators that campaigned for Senator Yari during the struggle to elect Senate President.
