The Intellectual Patriotic Youth Network (IPYN-IRG) has described as uncivil the conduct of Senator Elisha Abbo to compensate the nursing mother he allegedly assaulted.
Viral video footage had shown that Senator Abbo slapped a nursing mother at an adult toy shop in Abuja on May 11, 2019.
The group in a statement issued by its national coordinator, Ambassador Salaudeen A. Lukman expressed disappointment over the Senator’s conduct, asking him to compensate her within 72-hours or face mass action in demand for his indefinite suspension from the National Assembly and prosecution by the Nigeria Police.
“The Intellectual Revolution Group has been on top of the campaign for youth inclusion in governance and a proud supporter of #NotTooYoungToRunBill that birthed Abbo’s emergence as a Senator. So, being one of the pioneer beneficiaries, misbehaving in public because he has joined the power brokers is not only heartbroken but very depressing,” it said.
