At a press conference on Wednesday in Abuja, the lawmaker was traumatised that such unruly action came from him, adding that he has never been noted with violence all through his life.
“It is with a deep sense of remorse and responsibility that I, Senator Ishaku Abbo profoundly apologize to all Nigerians, the Senate, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), my family, friends as well as our mothers – the Nigerian women.”
“I personally apologize to Bibra and her family for my action towards her, which has brought immense discomfort in our body polity.”
“I have never been known or associated with such actions in the past. Regardless of what transpired prior to my expression of anger, I am sincerely sorry and plead that all men and women of good conscience should have the heart to forgive me. To err is human, to forgive is divine.”
“To the Church of God everywhere in the world, I am sorry. As an Ambassador of Christ, much is expected of me.”
“My family and religious upbringing do not give approval to such conduct and for this, as a leader, I seek forgiveness before God and all those who feel offended by my action.”
The lawmaker added that the public outcry over his action has taught him a lesson, saying as a public officer, he would watch his actions.
“Finally, I assure Nigerians, especially the people of Adamawa North of my good conduct at all times.”
