Minister of Women Affairs, Aisha Alhassan Officially Resigns From Buhari’s Govt, APC

The Minister of Women Affairs, Senator Aisha Alhassan aka Mama Taraba, has resigned her membership of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

She has also quit the Buhari government as a Minister.

“I write with a lot of respect to inform Mr. President of my decision to resign my appointment as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and as a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC),” Alhassan stated in her resignation letter.

In her letter to the President dated Saturday, 29 September, 2018, the former Minister thanked President Muhammadu Buhari for the opportunity to serve.

Mama Taraba recalled how she was duly screened and cleared before her appointment and how she also notified the President of her interest in contesting for the Taraba governorship seat.

Alhassan stated that all through her sojourn up to collection of form and mobilisation for the Presidential and Gubernatorial primaries, she kept the President Buhari in the know.

Alhassan lamented that she was disqualified by the APC from contesting the governorship seat and more troubled when no reason was given.
