She made this known via her official tweeter handle, @SenAishaAlhassn.

Recall that Mama Taraba was disqualified by the All Progressives Congress, APC, over alleged anti party. Alhassan had last year endorsed the presidential aspirant for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Vice president Atiku Abubakar.
