MINISTER FOR WOMEN AFFAIRS, AISHA ALHASSAN APOLOGISES TO APC OVER ALLEGIANCE COMMENT

The Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Hajia Aisha Alhassan has apologised over her comments regarding her political allegiance ahead of the 2019 presidential elections.

She tendered the apology during a meeting with All Progressives Congress (APC) on Thursday, according to a report by The Independent.
The minister had a meeting with the Party’s national Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun behind closed doors. She later left the secretariat at exactly 4pm in a brown jeep, marked Kaduna DKA 536 AA.

Alhassan had recently pledged her loyalty to former vice president Atiku Abubakar ahead of the 2019 general elections in an interview with the Hausa Service of the BBC.

The party had been slow in weighing in on the matter especially as the Buhari-led presidency had not really taken a position on whether to punish the minister or not.
