Abbo’s emergence comes months after his departure from the African Democratic Congress (ADC), where he accused the party’s Northeast Zonal Vice Chairman and former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir David Lawal, of throwing the party into “chaos and confusion.”
Former Adamawa North Senator, Elisha Ishaku Abbo, has emerged as the Labour Party’s governorship candidate for Adamawa State ahead of the forthcoming election, following his ratification as a consensus candidate in Yola on Saturday.
Abbo’s emergence comes months after his departure from the African Democratic Congress (ADC), where he accused the party’s Northeast Zonal Vice Chairman and former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir David Lawal, of throwing the party into “chaos and confusion.”
The former senator was endorsed and ratified by party stakeholders, positioning him as Labour Party’s candidate in what is expected to be a fiercely contested governorship race.
His entry into the race is already generating political ripples across Adamawa State amid growing discontent over the alleged imposition of the APC candidate, Ahmed Galadima Aminu.
