Aisha Yesufu, who is an activist and supports Peter Obi, has left the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) contest for the senate position in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
On May 6, Yesufu said she wants to run in the 2027 FCT senatorial election after joining the NDC from the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
She said her decision was informed by the leadership experience she garnered in the ADC.
Recently, there have been rumors that the party gave the FCT senate ticket to Amanda Pam, another member who was part of the party before Yesufu joined.
On Friday, Yesufu said the party won’t hold primaries for the FCT senate seat, which means Amanda Pam’s chance to get that position is over.“Our party has decided not to conduct primaries for the Senatorial seat in FCT Abuja. It however intends to conduct primaries for House of Representatives! Go ahead and make your choice known!” she said.
She urged her supporters to remain calm and to focus on the broader political objective ahead of the 2027 general election.
“I urge each and everyone of you to remain calm and focus on the bigger picture which is the presidential election. Nigeria will be OK!” she said.
“I appreciate all your support, dedication and commitment towards #AishaForSenate project.”
She added that she would continue engaging residents across the FCT.
“In the coming week I will be returning back to all the 6 Area Councils God willing to appreciate them for the warm welcome and continue to forge ahead for a #BetterFCT.”
