Following the resignation of
former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, from the All Progressives Congress, APC,
there indications that Minister of Women Affairs, Aisha Alhassan, may do same
in the coming weeks.
An aide to a top member of the
People’s Democratic Party (PDP) revealed on Friday that the former
ruling party is excited by Atiku’s decision.
He noted that though the ex-VP
did not state which party he intends to join, the party would welcome him with
open arms.
The source said, “With Atiku’s
announcement that he is now out of ‘their change’, the calculation towards 2019
just assumed a new level.
“While we don’t know his mind yet
as regards the party he intends to join, PDP is his home and we roll out the
drums if he decides to return.
“I am also delighted about this
development and can tell you that people like Mama Taraba, and some other
strong politicians in the current government and APC will soon leave the party.
Thank me for the information later.”
Recall that Alhassan, popularly
known as Mama Taraba, a few weeks ago at a gathering, declared that “Atiku is
my godfather even before I joined politics.”
“And again, Baba Buhari did not
tell us that he is going to run in 2019.
“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’.
“If because of what I said, I am
sacked, it will not bother me because I believe in Allah, that my time has
elapsed that is why.
“Baba is not a mad man like those
calling for my sack. They have been sending it and spreading that if Baba sees
this, I will be sacked.”
