On Tuesday, Justice Mohammed Danladi removed Senator Ishaku Abbo as the APC’s Adamawa North senatorial candidate for this year’s election. Senator Abbo was sacked by the court after his Mubi North ward in Adamawa expelled him from the party.
Justice Danladi decided that the Senator and APC are bound by the All Progressive Congress (APC) Mubi North Local government chapter’s executive’s October 7, 2022, expulsion of him from the party. The court also ruled that Senator Abbo is not entitled to APC benefits. On October 7, 2022, the party’s Mubi North LG executive agreed with the disciplinary committee to expel the Senator.
Termination In The General Election
The court also barred the senator’s party, APC, from nominating him for the next general election. Sen. Abbo was also barred from pretending to be the party’s Northern Senatorial District general election candidate. The plaintiff’s counsel demonstrated beyond a reasonable doubt, and Justice Danladi was pleased with the case. He stated Senator could have defended himself but he didn’t.

Odo, said he would inform his client of the court’s verdict and appeal to the Court of Appeal if the client agreed.
