Former Minister of Women Affairs, Aisha Alhassan has stripped the Taraba State secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) of all the property she donated to the party.
According to Mr. Aaron Artimas, the APC Publicity Secretary in the state, Alhassan, who recently resigned her appointment and dumped the APC, removed computers, furniture, rugs, air-conditioning sets and tables she had bought and donated to the party before her defection to the United Democratic Party (UDP).
“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,” Artimas told journalists on Wednesday in Jalingo, the state capital.
Artimas disclosed that the party leadership obliged her request to retrieve the items and watched as she removed everything from the party secretariat, expressing surprise that the former minister stooped so low to recover even minor items.
“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 her conscience,” Artimas added.
In her response to the allegation, Alhassan said although she did not sanction the removal of the items, she was in support of the development beause of the injustice the party meted out to her.
She said she bought the items with her money and when her loyalists told her they intended to remove items from the party secretariat, she gave them the nod as according to her, the APC did not deserve anything which belongs to her.
