Former Senator for Adamawa North, Ishaku Elisha Abbo, has alleged that Senate President Godswill Akpabio attempted to bribe him with $10,000 to gain his support.
Speaking on Arise News’ PrimeTime on Wednesday night, Abbo accused Akpabio of running the Senate like a personal empire and orchestrating the removal of lawmakers who opposed him.
“He told me that five senators would be removed. I asked how he knew, and he said, ‘I am the Senate President. I know.’ True to his words, five of us were removed. I had no idea that I was one of them,” Abbo stated.
Recalling events leading up to Akpabio’s election as Senate President, Abbo said he refused to support him, instead backing Senator Abdulaziz Yari.
“When I won election into the 10th Senate, I became the de facto DG of the campaign for Senator Abdulaziz Yari. Akpabio came to my hotel room around 2 a.m., asking for my support. I told him I was already committed to Yari and wished him good luck,” he said.
Abbo further alleged that financial inducements were offered to senators at a meeting at Transcorp Hilton.
“$10,000 was being distributed, but I refused to take any money,” he claimed.
