Air Vice Marshal Frank Ajobena (retd.) of Delta State has resigned from the All Progressives Congress in protest at the party’s presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, settling for a Muslim-Muslim ticket.
The retired Air Force chief, who is also an APC national caucus member, called the Muslim-Muslim ticket “the country’s highest level of insensitivity to the Christian faith.”
This was said in a statement released by the APC chieftain and made available to journalists in Warri on Monday.
According to ANAEDOONLINE, Tinubu has chosen Senator Kashim Shettima, the former governor of Borno State, as his running mate for the 2023 presidential election.
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 partly, “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”.
