Senator Ishaku Abbo, the lawmaker representing Adamawa North Senatorial District, is a politician not given to the subtleties of speech-making. He speaks straight from his heart and always appears not to mind even if his words would ruffle feathers as long as he feels sufficiently aggrieved.
When the Presidential Candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, picked fellow Muslim, Kashim Shettima, as his running mate, Abbo was one of the prominent Christian northern members of the APC who withdrew from the party’s presidential campaign after voicing his disagreement with a Muslim-Muslim ticket.
