I'm Still A Minister In Buhari's Government - Mama Taraba

Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Aisha Alhassan, who last September vowed not to support President Buhari for a second term has changed her mind and vowed to ensure she supports him to return for a second term.

She said, “Contrary to insinuations especially in the social media, I only sought for permission from President Muhammdu Buhari to begin consultations.

“This is preparatory to my seeking nomination from our great party the All Progressive Congress (APC) to contest for the office of the governor of Taraba State in 2019, which he has graciously accepted."

Mrs Alhassan added: “The letter in circulation in the social media does not in any way mean or suggest resignation.

“The letter is straight forward and unambiguous. Our esteemed supporters and loyal party men and women in Taraba should please disregard any rumour of my resignation.

“When the time comes for me to resign, I will do so in accordance with the laid down procedure and regulations."
