The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) has called upon Senator Elisha Abbo representing Adamawa North over the recent allegations of assaulting a woman.
Kola Ologbondiyan, the National Publicity Secretary of the party, issued a statement that said its attention had been brought to a viral CCTV footage showing Abbo slapping a lady in a sex shop in Abuja.
The statement said PDP, as a law-abiding party, hated and completely denounced such act of lawlessness and callousness as portrayed in the video and will therefore never disregard it.

The statement said:
“Our party is also shocked that the harmless victim of the unprovoked assault is said to be a nursing mother, who ought to be protected. Though this is personal conduct of an individual which has no bearing with the culture of our party, the PDP, however, holds that no responsible person will condone such an attitude.
“In the light of this, the NWC has commenced an investigation into the matter and summons Senator Elisha Abbo in line with the provisions of the Constitution of the PDP and code of conduct of our members. In the same vein, the party has taken note of the immediate action taken by the Senate.
“The PDP, at all levels of engagement, is reputed for her utmost respect and commitment towards the rights, safety and wellbeing of our citizens, particularly our women and cannot tolerate any callous assault on any Nigerian.”
