‘I Quit,’ Former Governor Dumps APC Over Muslim-Muslim Ticket
A former military governor of Abia State and presently a member of the National Caucus of the All Progressives Congress, APC Air Vice Marshal Frank Ajobena (retd), has quit from the party in protest against the adoption of a Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket.
The former governor has become the highest ranking party chieftain to quit from the party since the news of the adoption of the Muslim-Muslim ticket.
The retired Air Force chief, who is a chieftain of the party in Delta State in resigning from the party said that the Muslim-Muslim ticket was “the highest level of insensitivity to the Christian faith in the country.”
This was contained in a statement issued by the APC chieftain, copies of which he made available to journalists in Warri on Monday.
Recall that, Bola Tinubu, the APC presidential candidate had announced former Governor of Borno State, Senator Kashim Shettima as his running mate ahead of the 2023 general elections.
AVM Ajobena, who was the first Military Administrator of Abia State, noted further that it was inhumane for such a decision to be taken by Tinubu, whom he said, he respected so much
The statement read in part, “Tinubu is not my enemy, I am not against him. But let’s call a spade a spade. It is not my character to be a double agent, I am not pretending; even though I like the APC, the right thing should be done.
“The decision could be described as one that portrays arrogance and total disrespect to us, Christians, in the APC.
“The latest development portrays us as a people who can easily be bought over with money. Such an action is a minus to our democratic system. In what capacity will I be serving in his campaign train? As a slave?
“A man must stand for something, else will fall for anything, hence, I am quitting,” the former military governor said in announcing his protest at the adoption of the Muslim-Muslim ticket.
