Chairman of the Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, on Thursday formally received Senator Elisha Abbo into the party.

Abbo defected from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, into APC on Wednesday.

Abbo was received formally by Buni at the Party’s National Sectetariat.

The event was witnessed by the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan.

NewsWireNGR recalls that a Federal High Court in Maitama Abuja had on September 28 awarded N50 million damages against Senator Elisha Abbo for his violent assault of Osimibibra Warmate inside a sex toy shop in 2019.

Abbo, who represented Adamawa North was presented with the flag of the APC, showing he is now a Bonaire member of the party.

Abbo, a first- term lawmaker, was elected in 2019 to the Senate on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
