More trouble for Elisha Abbo as PDP summons him

By Jennifer Y Omiloli

Senator Elisha Abbo who was caught on camera assaulting a woman has been summoned by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The party in a statement by Kola Ologbondiyan, its national spokesman, decried Senator Abbo’s behaviour, describing it as an “act of lawlessness and callousness as exhibited in the video and will, therefore, never condone it,”

“Our party is also shocked that the harmless victim of the unprovoked assault is said to be a nursing mother, who ought to be protected.

“Though this is a personal conduct of an individual which has no bearing with the culture of our party, the PDP, however, holds that no responsible person will condone such an attitude.” PDP said.

“In the light of this, the NWC has commenced investigation into the matter and summoned Senator Elisha Abbo, in line with the provisions of the Constitution of the PDP and code of conduct of our members.” the party added.

“The PDP, at all levels of engagement, is reputed for her utmost respect and commitment towards the rights, safety and wellbeing of our citizens, particularly our women, and cannot tolerate any callous assault on any Nigerian.” The party concluded.
