The assault video has sparked outrage as Nigerians across the country are calling on the police to ensure justice is served on the issue.
In his reaction, Atiku described the video as “sad, inexcusable”.
I’ve 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.

The PDP presidential candidate then gave four recommendations. He advised Abbo to publicly apologise and voluntarily go to the police.
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 @OfficialPDPNig to take necessary disciplinary action and the @PoliceNG to ensure the law takes its full course. -AA
