Senator Elisha Ishaku Abbo has reacted his sack by a high court in Adamawa state, describing it as a ‘Cash and Carry Judgement’.
Aboo, who represents Adamawa Noirth Senatorial District in the Ninth National Assembly, was disqualified from contesting for the Senatorial seat in 2023 by the State High Court 3 presided over by Justice Danladi Mohammed.
While delivering judgement, Justice Mohammed held that the embattled Senator and the APC are bound by the resolution of Mubi North Local Government Executives dated October 7, 2022, which expelled him, saying that he is not entitled to enjoy any right or privilege accorded to APC members.
Reacting to the judgement, Abbo complained that the court is said to be the last hope of the common man but has sadly become ‘cash and carry’. He described the ruling as ‘flawed’ because those who purportedly expelled him from the party are not local government party executives and therefore have no jurisdiction to expel him.
In addition, it is only the ward executive of the party, according to the APC constitution, that has the right to punish any erring member of the party and not the local government or even the state exco.
He revealed that he will appeal the case in the Court of Appeal and therefore called on his supporters to remain calm.
