PDP’s Yohanna replaces APC’s Abbo In Senate.

On Wednesday, PDP senator Amos Yohanna took the oath of office and began serving as the senator for Adamawa North Senatorial District.

Yohanna was sworn in by Jibrin Barau, the Deputy President of the Senate.

The Court of Appeal fired Adamawa North’s attorney, Elisha Abbo, last week.

The ruling came after Yohanna sued the tribunal to contest the results of the senate election against Abbo, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

He argued that Abbo’s election should be invalidated by reasons of corrupt practices and non-compliance with the provisions of the Electoral Act, 2022.

Yohanna also cited over-voting at various polling units, false entries, as well as alteration and cancellation of votes at several polling units.

The tribunal dismissed Yohanna’s petition but it was was upheld by the appeal court.
