The nomination of Miss Aisha Abubakar for ministerial appointment from Sokoto state may fail or face some difficulties scaling the screening on Tuesday in the Senate following her rejection by the state chapter of the ruling All Progressives Congress ( APC).
The party in the state also vowed to officially write President Muhammadu Buhari rejecting her nomination and be replaced by a more competent representation not minding the gender.
Senator Abdullahi Ibrahim Gobir representing Sokoto East in the Senate had last Thursday submitted a petition against Abubakar’s nomination.
Gobir in the petition rejected Miss Abubakar’s nomination mainly on grounds of incompetence, along with other reasons contained in the petition presented to Senate President, Bukola Saraki.
The decision to reject Abubakar was taken during a stakeholders meeting of the party presided by over Governor Aminu Tambuwal
Briefing reporters shortly after the meeting, Chairman of the party, Alhaji Usman
Danmadamin-Isa said the meeting was summoned mainly to discuss the nomination of Aisha Abubakar.
According to Danmadamin -Isa” The meeting had discussed the nomination of one lady called A’isha as the nominee from Sokoto state and we have rejected her nomination which we out rightly rejected her nomination.”
” It became necessary to take a unanimous position because she is not a card-carrying member of the party in the state and nobody knows her, while she knows nobody in the state,” he explained.
The chairman maintained that ” we have also resolved to respectfully write to President Muhammadu Buhari to replace her with another more competent person,
not minding his or her gender.”
