Muslim-Muslim Ticket: Senator Abbo Resigns From Tinubu Support Group

Ishaku Abbo, the senator representing Adamawa North, blasted the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu for picking a Muslim as his running mate.
Mr Abbo who resigned his membership of a Tinubu support group over the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the APC, said “it is very irresponsible of Tinubu to take 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,” the federal legislator added.

He accused Mr Tinubu of refusing to take a cue from the opposition against his vice-presidential ambition and how President Muhammadu Buhari opted for a Christian running mate in 2015.
Buhari fought a civil war and understands the consequences of a divided nation. When Tinubu wanted to be VP in 2015, Buhari said no because he understood the importance of unity,” explained Mr Abbo.
Mr Tinubu, on Sunday, announced Kashim Shettima, a serving senator representing Borno central and ex-Borno governor, as APC vice-presidential candidate.
