Ex-minister Alhassan retrieves the rugs, A.Cs she donated to APC
Aisha Alhassan, former minister of women affairs, has retrieved computers and furniture she donated to the APC secretariat in Jalingo, Taraba state.
Aaron Artimas, APC publicity secretary in the state, said Alhassan also removed rugs, air-conditioning sets and tables she had bought for the party when she was a member.
He expressed surprise that the former minister “stooped so low to recover even minor items she had donated”. “We find this development shameful, unfortunately, it is true.
The former minister has emptied the office she furnished when she was a member of the APC,” he said. “It is amazing to us because Aisha Alhassan was the highest beneficiary of the party in the state.
It is a very shameful action, but we shall leave her to conscience.” But reacting, the former minister said she did not order the removal of the items, but supported it because of the “injustice” the party meted to her.
“I bought the items with my money; when my boys told me they were removing them from the party secretariat, I gave them the go ahead because the APC does not deserve anything of mine,” she said.
“The APC was wicked to me. If I had left the party on my own, I would not have bothered about the items, but you know the circumstances that pushed me out.
I bought the items to furnish the party secretariat, but since I have moved to the UDP, I did not see anything wrong with moving with all my belongings. They should buy their own furniture for the offices.”
Alhassan left the APC on September 29 after she was disqualified from contesting the party’s governorship primary election. She later joined UDP.
“I have said it before, there are two devils left behind when the British left Nigeria. The first was tribalism. They planted it as a devil and the second is Religious bigotry. What has these issues got to do with managing people.
“Nobody selected himself that I want to be Yoruba, Igbo or Hausa man. No. You just popped out and whether you are a Muslim or Christian is irrelevant.
“In all religions that I know, you are told to love your Neighbor as yourself. What you will not accept, don’t do it to another neighbor because if you pack up and die, that’s the end. Let us have an impact of governance.” -Chief Bode George On AriseTV News
The Presidential Candidate of our Labour Party in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi has demanded from the Special Adviser on Communication and Strategy to the President, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, the retraction of his wild allegation, linking him as behind the planned mass protest being planned for August.
Obi, writing through his counsel, Chief Alex Ejesieme, SAN of the MADIBA Chambers, said that the allegation which was widely published in social and mainstream media and read by many within and outside the country maligned his hard-earned reputation as a man who indulges in violence when all his antecedents are vivid that he abhors violence even in the face of extreme provocation.
“It’s our client’s conviction that the publication was a calculated plot to demean, ridicule, humiliate and embarrass him by the estimation of every right thinking member of the society”
“They said there is a judgment of the Supreme Court on local government autonomy. I think it is just a distraction. We must face the real issue that we have.
“The issue that we have is that we are not producing enough. We are not productive. Maybe it may be part of the problem, we want to have value for what is being shared but our problem is productivity.
“How much are those LGAs generating within their domains? Can they survive without handouts from Abuja? Handouts from Abuja, is that the way to go? Is it sustainable?” -Governor Seyi Makinde, Oyo At Audience With NUJ
