Shock Hits APC As Buhari’s Minister Declares Support For Atiku

The Deputy National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Segun Oni, has reacted to the  proclaimed support for former vice-president Atiku Abubakar by Mrs. Aisha Alhassan, the minister for women’s affairs and social development.

Although President Buhari has not declared any public intention of recontesting presidency in the 2019, the minister had stirred controversies in the past few days as she stated categorically to support Atiku Abubakar come what may for her as she even called the latter her ‘godfather’

Speaking with journalists, the former governor of Ekiti state, Segun Oni expressed shock to the vowed support by a minister within President Buhari’s cabinet.

“I am surprised that it happened in the first instance, but that is for the President and the party to talk about it at the appropriate time,”
he said.
