A Federal High Court sitting in Adamawa has sacked Senator Ishaku Abbo as the APC Senatorial candidate for Adamawa North senatorial zone for the 2023 general election.
This was contained in the judgment delivered by Justice Mohammed Danladi on Tuesday.
The court sacked the Senator on the ground that he was expelled from the party by his ward in the Mubi North local government area of Adamawa.
Justice Danladi, held that the Senator and APC are bound by the resolution of the All Progressive Congress (APC) Mubi North Local government chapter’s executive expelling him from the party on the 7th of October 2022.
The court also averred that Senator Abbo is not entitled to enjoy any right or privilege accorded to APC members.
Recall that the Mubi North LG executive of the party had on the 7th of October 2022, approved the expulsion of the Senator as recommended by the party’s disciplinary committee.
The court further restrained APC under which the Senator is seeking re-election from recognizing him as its candidate, saying that he cannot validly be the candidate of the party in the forthcoming general election.
The ruling also restrained Sen. Abbo from parading himself as the candidate of the party in the Northern Senatorial District in the forthcoming general election.
