Ken Nnamani, a former president of the senate, says he did not beg Elisha Abbo, a former senator representing Adamawa north, on behalf of any judge after the ex-lawmaker lost his election case in court.
In October 2023, the court of appeal sacked Abbo and
declared Amos Yohanna, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), as the
winner of the Adamawa north senatorial election.
Appearing on Channels Television on Wednesday, Abbo said he
was a victim of “miscarriage of justice”.
The former senator said Nnamani pleaded with him on behalf
of a judge after he lost his election case in 2023.
Reacting in a statement, the former senate president
described Abbo’s claim as “blatant lies”.
“My greatest surprise was to hear him state that Senator Ken
Nnamani visited him to plead with him on behalf of a judge for the miscarriage
of justice. This statement is a blatant lie. I do not know how Senator Abbo can
boldly fabricate an event that never happened to buttress his allegation of
judicial miscarriage against him,” he said.
“For the avoidance of doubt, I have never visited Senator
Elisha Abbo at his house or anywhere. Up to this moment, I do not know where he
lives. I have never discussed with him about his case, or any case pending or
decided by any court of law in Nigeria.
“The only time I met with him was when he visited me in my
house. It was more of a social visit by him. At this meeting, we never
discussed his case or any case. I recall that when the matter of his political
career came up, I advised him to avoid controversies as a young politician.
“The statements Senator Abbo made regarding me and his case
are all fabrications. I believe I have had a sterling and distinguished public
service career. I am determined to maintain my integrity and commitment to
excellence till the end of my life.”
