Senator Ishaku Abbo, a politician from Adamawa State, is once again in the spotlight for a controversial reason. This time, the controversy involves a viral video that allegedly shows him engaging in sexual activity with a married woman. The video has sparked widespread discussion, but Abbo has strongly denied that he is the man in the footage.
The video, which surfaced late last week, shows a light-skinned man engaged in sexual intercourse with a woman who is reportedly married. The man’s identity is not clear in the video, as only parts of his legs are visible. Despite this, some have claimed that the man in the video is Senator Abbo, who was previously known for attacking a breastfeeding mother in a sex toy shop in Abuja during his first term in the Senate.
Reacting to the allegations during a press conference on Thursday, Senator Abbo firmly rejected the claims. “How can you identify a person without seeing his face, his body, only parts of his legs, and you said it is Senator Abbo,” he questioned. Abbo argued that there is no credible evidence linking him to the video and suggested that the scandal is a product of political opponents trying to discredit him.
Abbo was removed from his Senate seat earlier this year by an Appeal Court, but he remains politically active and insists that this scandal will not derail his career. He believes that those behind the video are attempting to tarnish his reputation and undermine his chances in future elections. However, he remains confident in his support base.
“Blackmail cannot stop me from winning elections. A senator from one of the northern states was shown in a sex video with his entire body, but he still won an election to the Senate, and his wife won an election to the House of Representatives. My people love me. No amount of blackmail can stop me,” Abbo stated.
The senator also warned that he plans to take legal action against those he suspects are behind the video’s circulation. He stressed that the attempts to smear his name will not affect his political standing and emphasized that his performance during his time in the Senate will continue to earn him the support of his constituents.
Despite the controversy, Abbo remains determined to clear his name and continue his political journey. The incident has added to the list of scandals that have followed the senator in recent years, but he insists that his supporters will stand by him.
