Onyebuchi Ezigbo in Abuja

The Minister of Women Affairs, Hajia Aisha Alhasan, has lamented the state of neglect of her people in Taraba State by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the President Muhammadu Buhari in the scheme of things.

 Alhasan who led other members of APC from the state on a visit to the leadership of the party at the national secretariat yesterday in Abuja, told the leaders that apart from her appointment and Aambassadorial which are statutory and constitutional, “no any other meaningful appointment from the state.”

According to her, the APC members from the state are very worried “because firstly, if the government back home was that of the APC, I may not have been here in this capacity as a minister.

“I have come as a party member and a leader, together with my brothers from the state to air out our problems.

“The government in the state is controlled by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and we expected that you our parents and this government especially, since you knew that we were muscled out, we should have been helped because we did our best.

“No opposition party performed as good as we did since 1999. But unfortunately, apart from my appointment which is statutory and constitutional, then that of the ambassadorial, we still do not have any meaningful appointment.”
