       ABUJA — THE Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development,
       Aisha Alhassan, who last September vowed not to support
       President Muhammadu Buhari for a second term has changed her
       mind and vowed to ensure he returns for a second term.
       Alhassan, in a phone interview w, Thursday, apparently may have
       changed track as she denied claims that she had resigned her
       ministerial appointment to enable her contest the governorship
       election in Taraba State.
       Saying that she was firmly in office and backing the president,
       she said: “I am also helping in mobilising support for him
       (Buhari) and the APC for the 2019 election,’’ she said.
       “Contrary to insinuations especially in the social media, I only
       sought for permission from President Muhammdu Buhari to begin
       consultations.
       “This is preparatory to my seeking nomination from our great
       party the All Progressive Congress (APC) to contest for the
       office of the governor of Taraba State in 2019, which he has
       graciously accepted,” she said.
       Mrs Alhassan added: “The letter in circulation in the social
       media does not in any way mean or suggest resignation.
       “The letter is straight forward and unambiguous.
       “Our esteemed supporters and loyal party men and women in Taraba
       should please disregard any rumour of my resignation.
       “When the time comes for me to resign, I will do so in
       accordance with the laid down procedure and regulations.’’
