Mama Taraba Resigns As Minister, Dumps APC, Joins UDP
Barely six hours of her resignation as a member of President Muhammadu Buhari’s cabinet, former minister of women affairs, Aisha Alhassan, Saturday, officially joined the United Democratic Party, UDP.
She made this known via her official tweeter handle, @SenAishaAlhassn.
Recall that Mama Taraba was disqualified by the All Progressives Congress, APC, from contesting Taraba Governorship election over alleged anti party.
Few hours after the APC made its decision known, Alhassan resigned from the cabinet and also dumped the party.
Alhassan had last year endorsed the presidential aspirant for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Vice president Atiku Abubakar. But in a letter sent to Mr. President, Alhassan reeled the major reasons that led to her resignation.
