“To err is human, to forgive is divine”- Senator Elisha Abbo apologies for beating up a lady in Abuja
Senator Elisha Abbo who was caught on camera assaulting a lady in an adult shop in Abuja, yesterday apologised to the lady.
The Senator broke down in tears at a media briefing in Abuja and pleaded with Nigerians to forgive him. He claimed he has never been associated or known with assault in the past.
He said the negative reactions he got from people concerning the incident taught him a great lesson .
“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 (the victim) 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 of such conduct and for this, as a leader, I seek forgiveness before God and all those who feel offended by my action.
“Indeed, this episode has taught me very great lessons, but as a private citizen and a public officer, particularly as a senator of the federal republic of Nigeria upon whom public confidence is bestowed, he said.
