Senator Elisha Abbo apologises for Abuja sales girl assault

July 3,2019
Share:

The Senator representing Adamawa North senatorial district, Elisha Abbo, has apologised to Nigerians for assaulting the sales girl in a sex toy shop, in Abuja.

Abbo tendered his apologies on Wednesday , when he addressed journalists in Abuja.

Press Conference by Senator Ishaku Abbo (SIA) (PDP Adamawa North)

In his statement, Abbo apologised to Bibra and her family for my action towards her and the Church of God everywhere in the world.

“Regardless of what transpired prior to my expression of anger, I am sincerely sorry and plead that all men and women of good conscience should have the heart to forgive me.” He said.

He added that indeed, this episode has taught him a very great lesson both as a private citizen and a public officer, particularly as a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria upon whom public confidence is bestowed.

Here is the full statement:

“It is with a deep sense of remorse and responsibility that I, Senator Ishaku Abbo (SIA) profoundly apologize to all Nigerians, the Senate, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), my family, friends as well as our mothers – the Nigerian women.

“I personally apologize to Bibra and her family for my action towards her, which has brought immense discomfort in our body polity.

“I have never been known or associated with such actions in the past. Regardless of what transpired prior to my expression of anger, I am sincerely sorry and plead that all men and women of good conscience should have the heart to forgive me. To err is human, to forgive is divine.

“To the Church of God everywhere in the world, I am sorry. As an Ambassador of Christ, much is expected of me.

“My family and religious upbringing do not give approval to such conduct and for this, as a leader, I seek forgiveness before God and all those who feel offended by my action.

“Indeed, this episode has taught me a very great lesson both as a private citizen and a public officer, particularly as a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria upon whom public confidence is bestowed.

“Finally, I assure Nigerians, especially the people of Adamawa North of my good conduct at all times.

A CCTV footage of the senator assaulting the woman at an adult toy shop in Abuja has been in circulation since yesterday and his actions attracted criticisms from a large section of Nigerians with many calling for the senator’s arrest and prosecution.
