The Senator representing Adamawa
North Senatorial District, Ishaku Abbo has said that he bears no grudges
against his predecessors, Binta Masi Garba for dragging him to the 2019
Election Petition Tribunal which he won. He also disclosed how he gave APC
leaders money to organize rally for the female senator.
The lawmaker was reacting to the
Court judgment which declared that “he won the former Senator with a margin of
18,000 votes in the National Assembly election,” noting that he would never
utter inflammatory words against her.
Senator Abbo emphasised that the
development of Adamawa North Senatorial District was paramount, hence, he
placed that above personal interest while calling on the former female lawmaker
to close ranks with him in that direction.
In a statement made available in Abuja on Tuesday by his media aide, Mr. Michael Bolden, the
lawmaker expressed surprise that Senator Masi organised mob and dragged him to
the tribunal with no consideration of his humane approach to her.
“I have been cautious on dealing
with political opponents by restricting my supporters from uttering despicable
words while on campaign trail.
“Recall that I contested the
Senatorial seat of Adamawa North against Senator Binta Masi Garba and I won her
with 18,000 votes which was not by my power.
“I recall that in 2017 campaign
season, I never said anything negative against her or attacked her person
because of politics.
“As surprising as this will
sound, I gave money to APC leaders in my ward to mobilize people to welcome her
and attend her rally during a campaign tour to Mulhall ward.
“I expected my Distinguished
sister and now a Pastor to reciprocate my humane and loving gestures and accept
the outcome of the election as the will of the people.
“I was surprised that Binta Garba
Masi was the architect of organizing a mob against my name, dragged me to the
election petitions tribunals, took me to the court of Appeal, saying I stole
her mandate.
Abbo lamented the huge resources
he used in hiring Senior lawyers, saying that he would have used the money in
raising infrastructure in the Senatorial district.
