The senator was seen in a viral video assaulting the woman at a sex toy shop in Abuja,
Speaking through a statement on Wednesday, PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, said the PDP would stop at nothing to bring Abbo to book.
He added that the party detested and completely condemned such “act of lawlessness and callousness” as exhibited in the video and will therefore never condone it.
He said, “Though this is a personal conduct of an individual which has no bearing with the culture of our party, the PDP, however, holds that no responsible person will condone such an attitude.
