The Deputy President of the Senate, Jibrin Barau, has sworn in Amos Yohanna, as the new Senator representing Adamawa North Senatorial District.
Yohanna (PDP, Adamawa), replaces Senator Elisha Abbo (APC) who was sacked by the Court of Appeal Court on Monday last week.
It would be recalled that a three-member panel presided over by Justice C. E. Nwosu-Iheme, last week, ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to issue a Certificate of Return to Amos Yohanna as the duly elected Senator after it upturned Abbo’s victory at the tribunal level.
The appellate court vacated the tribunal judgment which earlier affirmed Abbo of the APC as the winner of the senatorial election.
INEC had declared Abbo the winner of the February 25 parliamentary election.
