President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan on Thursday advanced reasons why the senator representing Adamawa North, Senator Elisha Abbo, defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
In September, a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory sitting in Maitama, Abuja awarded N50 million damages against the senator to be paid as compensation to Osimibibra Warmate, a female attendant at a sex-toy shop, whom he assaulted.
Justice Samira Bature gave the order in her judgment on the fundamental rights enforcement suit instituted by Ms Warmate against the senator.
Premium Times had on July 3, 2019, reported how the lawmaker was caught on camera physically assaulting a woman in Abuja, two months after he allegedly committed the act.
But the President of the Senate said the defection attests to the fact that people were beginning to appreciate the fact that the government of President Muhammadu Buhari had done so much with so little resources.
Mr Lawan spoke in Abuja when he led Mr Abbo and his fellow decampees from Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Adamawa State to the National Secretariat of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
