Nigeria’s Women Affairs Minister Jummai Alhassan Minister Faints While Delivering Buhari’s Message At IDPs Camp

Aisha Jummai Alhassan, Women Affairs & Social
Development Minister caused panic yesterday when she
suddenly slumped at an IDPs (Internally Displaced
People) camp in Fufore LGA of Adamawa state.
The female politician was on a 2-day official visit to the
state when she slumped while delivering Buhari’s
message.
But the episode that could have led to a national tragedy
was averted by the swift intervention of her aides and
camp officials who administered first aid on her.
It was gathered that barely few minutes after walking
into the hall with the aid of crutches, Alhassan, who
recently had an operation for an undisclosed ailment,
slumped.
She was immediately assisted by some of her aides who
got a chair and helped her to sit down on it.
Her aides, particularly the women, used their wrappers,
bucket and dustbin covers and whatever they could lay
their hands on, to fan the ailing minister.
At this point, journalists who were already inside the
hall, were ordered to leave the hall by her security
aides.
A camp source told journalists that some bottles of
Coca-Cola were given to the minister, which she
reportedly drank “to increase her blood sugar level.”
After she was stabilised, Alhassan was hurriedly driven
out of the Fufore IDP camp to where she lodged to have
a rest.
