The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described former Vice
President Atiku Abubakar as a liar and blackmailer, labeling his attack on
President Muhammadu Buhari and the party as misleading.
Fielding questions from
journalists at the APC national secretariat Abuja on Friday, a member of the
National Working Committee (NWC) and National Vice Chairman, Northwest zone,
Inuwa Abdukadir, also urged the Minister of Women Affairs, Aisha Jumai Alhassan,
to honourably resign her position over the derogatory remarks she made against
President Buhari.
Mrs. Alhassan, in an
interview with BBC Hausa, said that even if President Muhammadu Buhari decides
to contest in 2019, she would still support Mr. Abubakar.
“Atiku
is my godfather even before I joined politics,” she said in Hausa. “And again,
Baba Buhari did not tell us that he is going to run in 2019.”
“Let
me tell you today that if Baba said he is going to contest in 2019, I swear to
Allah, I will go before him and kneel and tell him that ‘Baba I am grateful for
the opportunity you gave me to serve your government as a minister but Baba
just like you know I will support only Atiku because he is my godfather. If
Atiku said he is going to contest.”
