A member of the House of
Representatives, Hon. Mohammed Kurfi Danlami, has condemned in strong terms
statements credited to Minister of Women Affairs, Aisha Al-Hassan, that she
will support a former vice president, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, in 2019.
The APC lawmaker representing
Dutsin-ma/Kurfi Federal Constituency of Katsina State is the deputy chairman,
committee on petroleum resources downstream.
In his reaction, Danlami said: ”I
still cannot understand why Aisha Al-Hassan a serving minister, will say if her
principal, President Buhari contests in 2019, she will not support him and that
her support will be for former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar. This is
most reckless statement I have ever heard.
”With due respect, I expect
President Buhari to embark on urgent cabinet reshuffle, this is necessary as it
has become obvious that 80 percent of the serving ministers are treacherous,
disloyal to the president and also capable of becoming clogs in the wheel of
progress of this administration. In my own view Hajia Aishat Alhassan should
top the list of those that should be sacked by Mr president.
”Initially we thought her
statement was one of such fake news, but shockingly and without remorse she
came out in defense of her statement. Since her loyalty is for Atiku, I don’t
see any reason she should still remain in Buhari’s cabinet. I think she should
just pitch her tent with Atiku’s presidential bid. What amazed me most is that
the former VP has not declared yet, neither has the incumbent President.”
“This means even if Atiku dumps
APC, she will as well follow him. I thought her BBC interview should have been
about the progress she recorded in her ministry or innovation she has
introduced thus far, but what she could only do was to create unnecessary
distraction and embarrass the government. This is ridiculous and most
unfortunate,” Kurfi stated.
