Aisha Yesufu, a prominent Nigerian political activist, has officially declared her intention to run for the Federal Capital Territory senatorial seat under the platform of the Nigeria Democratic Congress. Her entry into the race signals a major shift in her career from frontline street advocacy to active partisan politics ahead of the elections.
According to a video posted on the Official YouTube channel of Channels Television on Sunday May 24, 2026, while discussing her strategic alliance with her political principal, she stated, “I promised Mr. Peter Obi that from now to 2027 I am going to have his back, his back will be safe with me, and I will always tell him the truth.”
The dynamic activist emphasized that her loyalty does not mean staying silent when difficult realities need to be addressed. She noted that true loyalty involves absolute honesty, explaining that even if her direct assessments are uncomfortable, she remains deeply committed to keeping his back safe while supporting his wider political visions across the country.
Turning her attention to the specific political dynamics within Abuja, she dismissed concerns regarding potential interference from political heavyweights like the current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory. She firmly maintained that appointed officials would not influence the ballot outcomes because she is solely focused on securing the genuine electoral mandate of the people.
In her concluding remarks, Yesufu reiterated that her primary goal is to bring citizen-focused representation to the legislative chambers. She added that it is time to demystify the senate office, ensuring that elected representatives actively serve their communities and build a lasting leadership legacy that everyday citizens can always see and hold accountable.
