Aisha Alhassan endorses Atiku to be President come 2019
September 7, 2017
Minister of Women Affairs, Aisha Alhassan, also known as Mama Taraba, has publicly declared her support former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, for presidency in 2019.
Alhassan based her support on the fact that in 2014, Buhari told the party he was seeking one term, implying he won’t run in 2019.
Her declaration has been met with mixed reactions on social media, with many in support of Mama Taraba and others finding fault in her support for Atiku.
Some believe that Alhassan calling Atiku the president for 2019 is an affront to President Buhari, saying she is abandoning the president.
Question of the day:
Is it right for Aisha Alhassan to already be referring to another person as “President 2019” while serving in PMB’s cabinet?
