Aisha Alhassan has debunked reports that she’s planning to dump the All Progressives’ Congress (APC) to join former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, who has decamped to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
She said, “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?”
She famoulsy said she was ready to quit Buhari’s government if he makes her choose between him and Atiku.
She said, “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.”
The minister even went one step further to dare a dismissal from the president for her comments, saying he is not naive enough to sack her.
“Baba is not a madman like those calling for my sack,” she boasted.
