Sen Aisha Alhassan
The Minister of Women Affairs, Sen. Aisha Alhassan, hasvoiced her willingness to run again in 2019.
“I won the 2015 election everyone knows that even the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and I will re-contest the election again in 2019 if God keeps me alive and well.
“It is God that gives power to whoever he desires. I won the election 2015, but God did not give me power. I will keep trusting in Him and the grassroots people of Taraba and God willing, I will win the election,” she said.
Sen. Alhassan, who is popularly known as 'Mama Taraba', said this yesterday at the APC national secretariat in Abuja shortly after the inauguration of 35 state chairmen of the party.
She gave an assurance that the new APC chairman in Taraba State would mend fences with those that contested against him and dismissed the notion about the existence of faction in her home state. (Daily Trust)
