The Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, has described the open declaration of the Minister for Women Affairs and Social Development, Senator Aisha Alhassan, for the political aspiration of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as a disappointment.
Amosun, who saluted Alhassan’s courage, made his views known in an interview with newsmen in Abeokuta on Saturday.
He said: “Though she is entitled to her own opinion at any point in time, but she should have just resigned her appointment because her loyalty cannot be in two places.
“Her falling short of resigning, takes everything away from what she said and it is clear that she will no longer be contributing to the development of the present administration.”
Speaking on whether or not President Muhammadu Buhari would seek reelection in 2019, Amosun said: “The only thing that can prevent President Muhammadu Buhari from contesting is if his health cannot take it.
“If not for this present administration, only God knows where Nigeria would have been.
“When the government came on board, it was like jumping into the pool at the deep end.”
Amosun scored the Federal Government high in its fight against insurgency, insecurity, corruption as well as efforts at economic recovery through serious diversification drive.
