Onyebuchi Ezigbo in Abuja
The Minister of Women Affairs, Hajia Aisha
Alhasan, has lamented the state of neglect of her
people in Taraba State by the ruling All
Progressives Congress (APC) and the President
Muhammadu Buhari in the scheme of things.
Alhasan who led other members of APC from
the state on a visit to the leadership of the party
at the national secretariat yesterday in Abuja,
told the leaders that apart from her appointment
and Aambassadorial which are statutory and
constitutional, “no any other meaningful
appointment from the state.”
According to her, the APC members from the
state are very worried “because firstly, if the
government back home was that of the APC, I
may not have been here in this capacity as a
minister.
“I have come as a party member and a leader,
together with my brothers from the state to air
out our problems.
“The government in the state is controlled by the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and we
expected that you our parents and this
government especially, since you knew that we
were muscled out, we should have been helped
because we did our best.
“No opposition party performed as good as we
did since 1999. But unfortunately, apart from my
appointment which is statutory and
constitutional, then that of the ambassadorial,
we still do not have any meaningful
appointment.”
