Atiku finally reacts to Mama Taraba’s comment on Buhari, APC, 2019 election

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has said the comments by Minister of Women Affairs, Aisha Jumai Alhassan, concerning President Muhammadu Buhari, “couldn’t have been said any better”.
Atiku declared that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is a coalition and that appointees have the right to keep their allegiance with whosoever they please.

Atiku, recently elevated to the Waziri of Adamawa, disclosed that even other Ministers in the cabinet have different views and opinions as regard the 2019 presidential election.

Paul Ibe, his media adviser, on Saturday insisted that what Mama Taraba said is, “the truth”.

Alhassan recently declared her support for Abubakar to emerge as Nigeria’s next president.
“And again, Baba Buhari did not tell us that he is going to run in 2019,” she said.

“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.”

In a chat in Abuja, Ibe said, “There’s really nothing to say. It’s like stating the obvious”.

“The Minister couldn’t have said it any better, likewise we can’t help say it any better.

“In fact, she spoke the minds of many Nigerians and don’t forget that everyone has a right of association.

“Even then president is aware of the Minister’s support for former VP Atiku; they (APC) know.

“So it should not surprise anybody because it is not a secret that the Minister has been behind us.

“Let me tell you, in the federal cabinet, other ministers have their views; they have people they support.

“People forget APC is coalition and when people from different background unite, you cannot expect stakeholders to forget their root.


“What the Minister did was an act of courage and we thank and commend her. We advise those who share similar opinion to also speak out.”

  5. Politics has NO permanent enemy. If he said so in the past that time they not in the same party, but now since they're in the same party you can't hear him saying such comments again.

  6. Atiku should go and rest! We don't need you as our president in Nigeria. Only sycophants and booth lickers who benefit directly from your looths are calling on you because they want more from your largesse! You are old and we are fed up from your previous looths. So you Nigerian elders are liars when you say 'youths are the leaders of tomorrow'. You old cargoes have adamantly refused to give the youths to rule! Allah ya is a!

  8. Atiku is only daydreaming, he can not rule this country, men of questionable character should be chased out in 2019, collect their money and vote with your senses. Mama taraba should simply resign, her loyalty is in doubt.
