Nigerian activist Aisha Yesufu has announced that she has formally joined the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) and will run for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Senatorial seat. Yesufu made the announcement on Wednesday via a post on her official X account, following her resignation from the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Reasons for the Move
“The next couple of days will define the future of this nation. This deeper understanding is why I resigned from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to join the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) as I follow the leadership of HE Peter Obi, who today embodies the hope and aspiration of a Nigeria that works,” she said.
Commitment to Promise
Yesufu emphasized her commitment to her word, stating, “When I give my word, I keep it. My decision to support HE Peter Obi first led me to the ADC. To continue to honour the promise I am joining the NDC. This time, I am joining the NDC not just as a member but as one running for the FCT Senatorial seat.”
Clean Transition
She explained that she has tidied up all her obligations to the ADC, ensuring a clean transition. Yesufu expressed excitement to have worked with great and amazing people at the ADC whose goal was a better country. “I am grateful for the opportunity to have served as sub-committee chair, deputy committee chair, and secretary at various levels. The experience has been invaluable, and I thank everyone for their support and cooperation,” she added.
