Senatorial tussle: Moro hails ‘Young Alhaji’ for withdrawing petition

Senator Abba Moro, representing Benue South Senatorial District at the National Assembly, on Monday, hailed the 2019 senatorial candidate of Advanced Peoples Democratic Alliance (APDA), Alhaji Usman Abubakar popularly known as Young Alhaji, for withdrawing the petition challenging his election.

Moro, who attended the sitting of the National and State Assembly election petition tribunal in Makurdi, said the withdrawal was sign of the good things that would happen in the senatorial district.

He noted that Young Alhaji had set standard for Idoma speaking people of the district to emulate, adding that the gesture would give him and his team of lawyers time to concentrate on the case between him and the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s candidate, Chief Steven Lawani.

“Quite frankly, I will not forget this gesture [of Young Alhaji] in a hurry because I think that everybody that wants to contest an issue has the reason to do so but in his wisdom, he has withdrawn from further prosecution of the case,” he said.

Moro added that the withdrawal of Young Alhaji’s petition had offered him adequate opportunity to concentrate on the job of effectively representing the people of Benue south senatorial district.
