Elisha Abbo Shifts to PDP After Court Ruling, Leaves APC

Senator Elisha Abbo announced his defection from the APC to the PDP after fasting and praying for guidance. Abbo, who was elected in 2019 on the PDP platform, switched parties following a court ruling in October 2023.

The court had declared Amos Yohanna of the PDP as the winner of the Adamawa North senatorial election, leading to Abbo's move. Abbo's decision to switch parties highlights the political realignments and legal battles shaping the landscape ahead of the upcoming elections.
