The
Minister of Women Affairs, Sen. Aisha Alhassan, has said the ruling All
Progressives Congress (APC) will not only win Gombe and Taraba States
in 2019 but also lead Nigeria forever.
Sen. Alhassan, who is
popularly known as 'Mama Taraba', said this at the APC national
secretariat in Abuja on Monday shortly after the inauguration of 35
state chairmen of the party.
She said the forthcoming National Convention would be peaceful despite the current crisis in the APC. “Crisis
is normal in a big party like APC; once we can do our national
convention, then we face the opposition PDP and I assure you that APC
will win more states like Taraba in 2019.
“I will make sure that
in my zone, I follow up and by God's grace, Gombe and Taraba will be
taken over in 2019, and don't even talk about Nigeria because it’s
already APC and it will continue to be APC forever,” she added.
She
gave an assurance that the new APC chairman in Taraba State would mend
fences with those that contested against him and dismissed the notion
about the existence of faction in her home state.
“I won the 2015
election, everyone knows that, even the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP);
and I will re-contest the election again in 2019 if God keeps me alive
and well.
“It is God that gives power to whoever he desires. I
won the election 2015, but God did not give me power. I will keep
trusting in Him and the grassroots people of Taraba and God willing, I
will win the election,” she said.
