Ishaku Abbo, Senator, representing Adamawa north on the platform of the All Progressive Congress, APC, has resigned from the Party over the choice of Kashim Shettima as the Vice Presidential Candidate of Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
He said APC Muslim/Muslim Presidential Ticket would not augur well for the peace and stability of the country .
He claims in a statement that Tinubu ignored strategic advice given that he shouldnt toe the path of Muslim Muslim Ticket.
“We sat down in Abuja and strategised, and we concluded that he should not take a Muslim as running mate.
“Tinubu threw away the report. My conscience will not allow me to campaign for Tinubu. I am a member of CAN
“I cannot deny CAN. I remain in APC. But I will take the survival of my country first over political considerations,” he said.
He further chastised Tinubu, calling him irresponsible.
According to him, Tinubu has placed his political survival over the stability and peace of Nigeria.
“For Tinubu now to be given the ticket and turn around to do what he couldn’t achieve in 2015 despite opposition from Catholics and other Christian leaders is extremely irresponsible,” he said.
