Darius Ishaku-Aisha Alhassan 

The Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Senator Aisha Alhassan, has accused the Taraba State Government of maltreating and intimidating some perceived supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Reacting to the minister’s claim, the Chief of Staff, Administration to Governor Ishaku, Mr. Rebo Usman, dismissed the allegations that the APC supporters were being victimized or discriminated against in the state.

Usman challenged Sen. Alhassan to produce the list of the APC members who were being victimised, describing the allegation as “a figment of imagination of some members of the party who were bent on running down the PDP government”.

While stating that the people of the state were now benefitting from the politics of Governor Ishaku, the chief of staff wondered why the APC leader in the state was making such statements.

He noted the fact that President Muhammadu Buhari had sent two ministers to the state prior to the coming of Alhassan showed that the president was more interested in the needs of the people than party politics.
