The Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Aisha
Alhassan also known as Mama Taraba might dump the All
Progressives Congress (APC) soon.
According to Punch, this is coming after she was disqualified
by the APC screening panel. There are reports in the media
that Alhassan resigned from President Buhari’s cabinet on
Friday, September 28, 2018.
Another source told Punch that Mama Taraba knew that she
would be disqualified.
The source said that the minister had a hint that the APC
chairman, Adams Oshiomhole was plotting to frustrate her
governorship ambition.
“The minister is a force to reckon with in Taraba and nobody
can win her among those contesting for the party’s
gubernatorial ticket in the state.
“Her political weight became a threat to the bigwigs in the
party who are out to satisfy their personal interests. Clash of
interests in the APC led to the decision not to clear the
minister whom they believe will win the ticket against their
preferred candidates given whatever mode of primary that
would be adopted by the party,” the source said.
He public show of support for former Vice-President Atiku
Abubakar might have earned her a stroke in the black book of
the ruling party, according to Punch.
Alhassan’s media aide has however denied reports that she
has resigned describing it as speculations also saying that
she will respond when the time is right.
According to reports, Aisha Alhassan might move to the
United Democratic Party (UDP) to enable her run for Governor
in Taraba state.
