Former
Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Aisha Alhassan, also known as
Mama Taraba and governorship candidate of the United Democratic Party (UDP) in
Taraba State, says she is confident of victory in 2019 general elections with
her new platform.
The
former senator expressed the optimism on Wednesday in Abuja when she visited
the UDP national secretariat with UDP Taraba State Executive to submit the
state’s report to the party’s National Chairman, Godson Okoye.
She
said it is not the name of the political party that mattered in winning
elections in Nigeria, but the structure and followership a politician has in
any election.
“Mama
Taraba’’, and her counterpart in the
Ministry of Communications, Adebayo Shittu, were disqualified by the All
Progressives Congress (APC) governorship election Screening Committee before
the just concluded primaries of the party and according to her, she now has
more followers in UDP than she had before because of the injustice that was
meted out to her by APC, saying what APC did had turned out to be a blessing in
disguise.
She
says “APC is just a platform like any other political party, you can win
election on any platform as long as you have people from the grassroots and you
have the structure.
“It
is just the name of our platform that is changed and as far as we are
concerned, the followership is still intact, in fact we have more followership
now because of the injustice done to me by the APC, we have a lot of sympathies
now.
