Former Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Aisha Alhassan, popularly known as ‘Mama Taraba’, was ferried with her SUV on a boat earlier today.

It was gathered that the ex-minister who defected from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, to United Democratic Party, UDP last year, had to be ferried across the river to continue with her campaign ahead of the election due to inaccessible road in the community in Taraba state.

Her convoy which had strong security presence, was also ferried on the wooden boat as the villagers welcomed her to their place joyfully after crossing the river.
