The Minister for Women Affairs Jummai
Alhassan has said that President Muhamadu Buhari won't sack her because of her
pledge to support former Vice President Atiku Abubakar during the 2019
presidential election.
Alhassan
told the BBC Hausa Service Wednesday that she would support the former vice
president even if President Muhammadu Buhari will recontest for president
because Atiku has been her godfather.
"Do
they think Baba is also mad like them? They're busy sending all sorts of things
via phones that once Baba sees them, he'll sack me. He won't sack me as
minister because of this issue, except if I commit an offence.
"Besides, I've been doing my job as minister to the best
of my knowledge. I also defend the APC government, my political party. Baba is
my leader and the president of my country. I have been respecting him and I'll
continue to respect him as a good man and someone with integrity.
"So, those saying I'll be sacked will be put to shame. Even if I'm sacked, it's because my time is over and nothing else. I didn't seek for it in the first place; it's God that gave me."
Asked if it is not too early to begin campaign for 2019, Alhassan said she was not in any way campaigning for Atiku at this time.
