"Leave Women Affairs Minister alone" â€' APC youths

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Youths have further warned those accusing the Minister of Women Affairs, Aisha Alhassan, of disloyalty against President Muhammadu Buhari to steer clear of APC affairs.

They also defended Mrs Alhassan for her show of support to former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar ahead of the 2019 general elections.

A recent video which surfaced online showing the Minister expressing her support to Abubakar’s 2019 ambition had drawn the ire of many political observers and commentators who accuse her of disloyalty to President Muhammadu Buhari considering the fact that there are calls in some quarters for him to run for a second term in office.

However, in a statement signed by its National Secretary, Collins Edwin, the APC Youths Renaissance group said that Mrs. Alhassan was right to have remained loyal to Atiku Abubakar whom they described as her benefactor of many years.

The group noted that since the Minister had never been found wanting in her job as a member of the Federal Executive Council, she has done no wrong in expressing her support for Abubakar since President Buhari has neither personally nor publicly declared his intention to run for another term in office.

The APC youths further stressed that the Party is a united family where all party faithful are expected to respect party leaders

The statement reads: “Our attention has been drawn to the story making round in the social media accusing the Honourable Minister of Women Affairs, Mrs. Aisha Alhassan of disloyalty to the present administration.
