El-Rufai–We Warned President Buhari Not To Appoint Alhassan

Governor Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna State says President Muhammadu Buhari appointed Aisha Alhassan as a minister despite complaints by the leadership of the All Progressives Congress...

This comes after  Alhassan pledged loyalty to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
Alhassan was compensated for the post of a minister after she contested and lost the Taraba governorship election in 2015.
El-Rufai blasted the Minister for lack of loyalty to the President and added that  Aisha Alhassan was never a Buhari supporter in the first place but a loyalist of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar.

He advised Nigerians not to be surprised or shocked at her outburst.

He, however, said her retention or otherwise as a cabinet minister should be at the discretion of the President.
The minister was at the presidential villa in Abuja on Thursday but did not meet Abba Kyari, chief of staff, whom she had come to see.
