In a candid moment during her Arise TV interview, activist-turned-politician Aisha Yesufu opened up about the trade-offs she has had to make since stepping into partisan politics.…....
Yesufu admitted that joining a political party has forced her to rein in some of the boldness that defined her activist years. She recalled how her stance on the presidential anthem became one of the earliest signs of that shift.
“When the Tinubu’s anthem came out, I refused to stand for it,” she said. “I only started standing when I joined the party because now I joined the party I have to follow the rules and regulations of the party.”
She went on to explain that holding or seeking political office demands a level of discipline and compromise that most activists deliberately steer clear of, a reality, she acknowledged, that she is now navigating firsthand.
