A former Senator who represented Adamawa North Senatorial District, Elisha Abbo has alleged that the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio runs the Red Chambers like his personal empire.
Speaking on Arise Television’s Prime Time Show, Abbo said Akpabio has constantly threatened lawmakers who oppose him with removal.
