Controversial Senator Elisha Abbo who assaulted a woman at an Abuja sex toy shop has left his party, the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP.
Abbo who is representing Adamawa North in the National Assembly Elisha Abbo has now become a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
The Senator announced his defection in a letter addressed to Senate President Ahmad Lawan during Wednesday’s plenary session, citing crisis in Adamawa state branch of the PDP.
He accused the state governor, Umaru Fintiri of mismanagement of the PDP, an action which is no longer comfortable for him.
The senator, was last year, accused of beating one Osimibibra Warmate, a female attendant at a sex-toy shop in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
He was later tried by an FCT High Court in Maitama, which awarded N50 million damages against Abbo, in September last year, after Justice Samira Bature found him guilty of violating the fundamental human rights of the victim.
