The Buhari Youth Organisation (BYO), has expressed disappointment with Sen. Elisha Abbo (PDP-Adamawa North) over his alleged assault on a young lady in an adult shop in Abuja.

 

The Lagos Chapter of the group made its position known in a statement issued by its state coordinator Mr Abdulwaheed Odunuga and Secretary Mr. Adekunle Aderibigbe on Wednesday in Lagos.

 

The statement read in part

 

“With the assault being an embarrassment to humanity for not upholding morals, Abbo should be investigated. If he should be spared, then he would have laid bad precedence for the current serving #NotTooYoungToLead leaders and those proposing.

 

“The abusive use of public office must be addressed with this issue to set the tone right for others. Those entrusted with public offices should always remember that they were elected or appointed there to serve and not to use the power to intimidate us,” it added.

 

The group urged public officers to always comport themselves.

 

Meanwhile, the Senate on Wednesday, set up a bipartisan ad hoc committee headed by Sen. Sam Egwu, to probe the alleged assault on the nursing mother by Abbo.
