Aisha Yesufu, a prominent human rights activist and frontline political aspirant, has strongly clarified her relationship with the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi, dispelling widespread rumors of political godfatherism. Her bold statement comes amid intense national preparations and shifting alignments ahead of the upcoming 2027 general elections.…....
According to a video posted on the Official YouTube channel of Arise News on Monday May 25, 2026, while addressing her political journey and party alignments, she stated, “Peter Obi is not my godfather, he is my principal.” This clear distinction aims to correct the narrative surrounding her deep loyalty and political independence.
The resilient activist noted that her support for Obi is rooted entirely in shared values of patriotism, empathy, and national development. She stressed that her alignment with him is strictly professional and based on a mutual vision to deliver transparent leadership, total accountability, and sustainable good governance for the benefit of all Nigerians.
Setting the record straight on her political affiliation, Yesufu reiterated that she was never a card-carrying member of the Labour Party as widely reported. She clarified that her transition from the African Democratic Congress to the Nigeria Democratic Congress was a strategic step toward active legislative representation within the nation’s capital.
In her concluding remarks, the passionate senatorial aspirant declared that holding the executive arm of government accountable remains her topmost priority. She vowed that even under an Obi presidency, she would firmly resist any frivolous policies or unnecessary loan applications that do not directly benefit the masses or improve the country.
