Minister of Women Affairs, Aisha Alhassan has dumped former Vice President Atiku Abubakar like bad habit. This is contrary to her open support for Atiku 2019 presidential ambition…
Hon. Aisha Alhassan and Atiku Abubakar
“Politics is all about interest, and nobody forced me to leave PDP to join APC, so no want will force me out of it. I will continue to work for APC and that’s why I travelled out to Taraba, to campaign for our party’s candidate Sanusi Jambawaile.”
“I know many may wish to see me leaving APC, but let me assure them I will remain in APC! So, how can I destroy the house we collectively built?”
“APC is intact in Taraba. There is no squabble or faction, and our great party. That’s why we all work and campaigned together with His Excellency the former Acting Governor UTC. So, we are one no any problem as some of you thought.”
It is interesting to know that she had in September 2017 said that she will support Atiku Abubakar for the 2019 presidential election even if President Muhammadu Buhari decides to run.
“Atiku is my godfather even before I joined politics and again, Baba Buhari did not tell us that he is going to run in 2019. Let me tell you today that if Baba said he is going to contest in 2019, I swear to Allah, I will go before him and kneel and tell him that ‘Baba I am grateful for the opportunity you gave me to serve your government as a minister but Baba just like you know I will support only Atiku because he is my godfather. If Atiku said he is going to contest.”
