Elisha Abbo Wins Labour Party Ticket Amid Assault and Rape Controversies

Elisha Ishaku Abbo, former Senator representing Adamawa North, has been ratified as the Labour Party’s governorship candidate for Adamawa State. His emergence follows a departure from the African Democratic Congress, where he accused party leaders of creating “chaos and confusion.” Party stakeholders endorsed him as a consensus candidate. Abbo’s senatorial tenure was overshadowed by scandals. In 2019, he was filmed assaulting a woman in an intimacy gadget shop. In June 2025, he faced a rape allegation involving a 13-year-old girl, which he denied. Observers say his popularity and rival party discontent could reshape the state’s governorship contest into a fiercely fought race.
