Daily Trust reports that Alhassan popularly known as Mama Taraba made this revelation during a stakeholders meeting of her former party, United Democratic party (UDP),

Mama Taraba was a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress while she served as minister under the Muhammadu Buhari administration.
