Senator Elisha Abbo has clashed with Senator Oluremi Tinubu on his appearance on Tuesday before a Senate ad-hoc committee, Igbere TV reports.


Igbere TV reports that Senate President Ahmad Lawan had on July 3 set up a committee to investigate an incident of assault involving Mr Abbo and a woman at an adult toy shop in Abuja.


The committee was to be headed by a former governor of Ebonyi State, Sam Egwu.


Other members of the panel include Mrs Tinubu, Mathew Urhoghide, Stella Oduah, Dauda Aliu Jika, Sani Musa, and Danladi Sankara.


On Tuesday, Abbo refused to swear an oath before the panel. He also refused to speak in the presence of journalists because the matter was in court.


“Distinguished, you just joined us. We have a procedure and we are also under law. You don’t come in here and dictate to us what should be done,” Tinubu told Abbo, a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) member.


“You are on the other side now. You don’t tell us what to do…because we can suspend you,” she added.


Visibly upset, Abbo said: “I will not sit here and listen to you threaten me with suspension. I am a senator like you. You cannot threaten me with suspension.”


Journalists were later asked to leave for the meeting to continue off camera.


Abbo was arraigned on Monday at Zuba Magistrate Court, Abuja on one count of assault which he denied.

Senator oboo

Only God knows how much I hate this Abbo of an idiot but Mrs Tinubu is also an idiot to tell him that he is at the other side now. Meaning he is not in APC.

He would have been treated as a saint if he is in APC. What a country.

Exactly, you can't suspend him(Omo-Agege issue) . The probe has no head, just to show they are working. They should allow police do their work. The only way they can help is to make sure the case moves fast, make sure police doesn't drag feet and the guy is sentenced.

That's not what she meant. Come on now
She meant he's the one being inquired upon. So he cannot dictate the rules

That is not the literally meaning of what she said. Don't always see everything partisan.

Be objective, don't conclude hastily because you are not in her mind

You don't even need to read her mind to know she never meant that.

Pls, don't derail the thread with Ms. Tinubu and our interpretation
We are talking of molestation, manhandling and assault of a nursing mother here.
Imagine she is your sister....

He denied ever assault the woman that it's just a case of public romance.

For the record no one can suspend a senator no matter what

Case close

A case that's already in court so what is the Senate seating about again ? Shouldn't they wait for the verdict of the court before seating .. Senator Abbo really got into the house on a wrong note and at a time where members are being penciled for juicy committee and trust the APC to send him to the poorest committee
