The former Minister of Women Affairs. Senator Aisha Jumai Alhassan popularly known as ‘Mama Taraba’ has been accused by the All Progressive Congress APC of retrieving computers and furniture she had donated to the party Secretariat in Jalingo.
The Taraba state chapter party spokesman, Mr Aaron Artimas told journalists in Jalingo that, as part of conditions for the release of the party secretariat to the genuine leadership of the party in the state, Senator Aisha Alhassan had insisted on moving all the items she had donated to the party, including air-conditioning sets, computers, tables and rugs and other items.
Artimas, who said that the party had decided to oblige her request and watch her move nearly everything from the party, said it was shameful that the minister would recover minor items she had donated to the party after leaving the party, despite her being the highest beneficiary of the party in the state.
Alhassan who reacted to the report said that she did not order the removal of the items but supports it because of the injustice she has suffered from the party.
Alhassan, reportedly said that she had bought the items with her money and when her boys told her they were removing them from the party secretariat, she gave them the go ahead.
Alhassan who was screened out of the gubernatorial race by the party, resigned as minister of women affairs and also withdrew her membership of the party to join the United Development Party UDP its standard-bearer.
