Atiku asks PDP to discipline senator who assaulted nursing mother

The Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in
the last election, Atiku Abubakar, has called on his party to
immediately discipline Adamawa North lawmaker, Senator Elisha
Abbo.

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 sex 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.”
