The Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Aisha Alhassan has resigned her position as Minister for women affairs in Buhari’s cabinet.

The minister of women affairs and social development, Senator Aisha Alhassan resigned her position in the federal executive council cabinet in a bid to contest the 2019 governorship election in Taraba state

According to Vanguard, President Muhammadu Buhari confirmed the resignation in his acceptance of her notification through a letter conveyed to her dated July 27, 2018.

In the letter, however, President Buhari raised a condition of supporting her so long as she vies on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

In his acceptance of her resignation letter, Buhari said: “I have today received your letter notifying me of your intention to contest for the governorship of Taraba State in the 2019 election.

“Let me thank you on behalf of the Federal Executive Council and Nigerians for your services as minister under this administration. I note with passion your past contribution to our great party APC during and after the 2015 elections.

“As you are aware I am totally committed to free and fair elections. Our policy is to support all APC candidates. I wish you well in your ambition to be governor of your state. Rest assured that all security agencies as well as INEC will have my full support to conduct free, fair and transparent elections in 2019.”

Mama Taraba as she is fondly called was the candidate of the APC in the 2015 governorship election and lost it by the whiskers.
