She categorically stated that she has returned all the vehicles to the government pool.
Dr. Aliyu emphasized the importance of providing clarity due to reports suggesting that she had refused to return the vehicles assigned to her during her tenure as minister under the FCT Administration.
Dismissing these reports as politically motivated and aimed at tarnishing her reputation, Dr. Aliyu asserted that she had promptly returned all the vehicles in her possession to Life-Camp, which serves as the official residence of the FCT Minister.
In a personal statement released on Sunday, Dr. Aliyu highlighted the existence of concrete evidence substantiating the return of the vehicles to their designated locations. She strongly refuted the baseless and false nature of the reports, attributing them to the imaginations of the writers who sought to damage her hard-earned reputation.
The statement read: “There are misleading reports in the media pointing at official vehicles assigned to me by the Federal Capital Territory Administration during my days as Minister of State for the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, which the public must know the truth, not the fiction.
“All the vehicles that were assigned to me are no longer in my custody, I have since returned them in good condition to the official residence of Minister of the FCT in Life-camp, anyone who doubts should go there and verify, as well reach out to the FCT Administration for more clarifications.
“I am miffed by the unfounded reports apparently sponsored by weak minded individuals to undermine my hard earned academic, political, family and public reputations.
“Indeed, as a female politician standing tall in the society, some persons must adverse me, but it should be in a concise manner, facts based than to weaken me insidiously
“While the allegations of hijack of FCT pilgrims slots is the writers’ imagination, because the official procedure adopted by organs responsible for Pilgrimage affairs cannot be subverted.
“Our preparations and ratings in the FCT Pilgrims Board while I was holding sway, received positive commendations in the preceding years.
