According to Punch newspaper, the embattled Minister of Women Affairs, Senator Aisha Alhassan on Thursday, appeared before the National Working Committee of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
It was gathered that the Minister who arrived the national secretariat of the party at about 1:45pm, was ushered into the office of the National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun where discussions are being held behind closed doors with the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi.
Although details of the closed door meeting were not made public, it was learnt that the Minister was given an opportunity to explain herself in the light of the recent controversy generated by her media comments.
The minister emerged from the meeting and rushed into her waiting vehicle.
It can be recalled that the minister had recently stirred the hornet nest when she granted a media interview where she pledged her unflinching loyalty to a chieftain of the party and former vice president, Atiku Abubakar rather than her boss, President Muhammadu Buhari.
