Why Mama Taraba resigned from the APC
Barely 48 hours after she was disqualified from contesting in the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship primaries in Taraba State, Minister for Women Affairs, Aisha Alhassan, popularly known as "Mama Taraba", has resigned her position, citing "injustice" and "betrayal" by the APC as reason for her decision.
In a letter addressed to President Muhammadu Buhari, dated Saturday, September 29, 2018, Alhassan revealed
that the ruling party no longer have faith in her as a minister, especially with her disqualification from the governorship primaries tomorrow in states across the federation, despite the fact that she already spent millions of naira in buying the expression of interest form and has been loyal to the ruling party.
Though she has not made known the political party she will be joining, Alhassan has always shown an unalloyed support for Peoples Democratic Party stalwart and Adamawa State-born presidential hopeful, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, whom she regards as her political godfather and understandably defected with to the APC during the events that led to the 2015 general elections.
It could be recalled that Alhassan's loyalty to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has attracted constant criticism from many APC members, who regarded her as the eyes and ears of the opposition in the government she was serving.
President Muhammadu Buhari was yet to acknowledge her resignation as at the time of filing this report.
