More troubles for Ishaku Abbo as APC set to expelled him as predicted by Fintiri’s aide Kumangar
Trouble looms as the All Progressive Congress is set to expelled Ishaku Abbo for anti-party activities.
Abbo, discredited for assaulting a nursing mother in an Abuja sex toy shop, is set to be expelled from the All Progressives Congress (APC), an APC chieftain told this medium.
Abbo, a senator representing Adamawa North in the Nigerian Senate, had left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) last November after his failed plan to upsurge the power of Adamawa state governor Ahmadu Fintiri as his party leader.
Abbo, who has severally launch unwarranted attacks on Fintiri and other elder statemen from Adamawa, has accused the governor of not giving him breathing space in the PDP. Shortly after that, he left the PDP to the ruling APC.
However, his defection was greeted with wide condemnation, considering that he had initially described the APC as “a group of crooks” that invested millions of naira in media propaganda.
Abbo is fighting multiple battles with almost all senior stakeholders of the party at the state and national levels.
Disclosing Abbo’s current ordeal, a chieftain in the party and former national vice-chairman, Mustapha Salisu, said Abbo was on his way out.
He said, “This man (Abbo) is a disappointment to many Nigerian youths.
“He is not fit for a revered institution like the APC or the Nigerian Senate.
“The other time, he was calling Governor Fintiri all sorts of names, vulgarly saying the governor was a small man in a big office.
“For God’s sake, between Fintiri and Abbo, who is a small man in a big office? Fintiri, a two-time member, Speaker, acting governor and now elected governor, yet the juvenile senator could insult him as such.”
Mustapha further disclosed that since Abbo joined the APC, the party, particularly at the state level, has been plagued with a series of crises.
“The other time, he was using uncouth language against the immediate past governor of the state, Senator Jibrilla Bindow.
“Our party would not condone this type of thuggery from him.
“I can tell you that Abbo has brought the verbal assaults mentality that chase him out of PDP to APC, and we cannot condole such behaviour.
“Take it from me, the APC has no room for the type of Abbo. Very soon he’ll have to float his own political party or make do with any of the available smaller parties,” he said.
