The APC chieftain made this known to journalists in Abuja on Tuesday, July 11, adding that she worked effortlessly for the APC at the federal and state levels to ensure President Tinubu emerged the victor.

She then declared that her efforts deserved to be rewarded with a ministerial appointment.

Why I President Tinubu should appoint me as minister Her statement reads in part: “Aside from my efforts, seen and unseen, that culminated in the electoral victory of President Tinubu at the polls, I am a woman of character, competence and experience with a proven track record for all to see."
