Nigerian activist and politician Aisha Yesufu says she is not a card-carrying member of the Labor Party, LP or any other political party.
Naija News recalls that Aisha was a member of the 2023 LP Presidential Election Council.
However, in an interview with Nigerian journalist Seun Okinbaloyi on the podcast ‘Mic On’, Aisha denied any insinuations that she was a member of the LP or any other party.
The co-convenor of “BringBackOurGirls” also said that she has never sought appointment from any politician as she works for economic independence.
She said: “For me, before I started talking about the Nigerian issue, I tried to become financially independent.
“I am not a member of the Labor Party. I have never been a cardholder of any political party.
“I challenge anyone, living or dead, I, Aisha Yesufu, have come to you for appointments, contracts, etc. I am a trader! Buy, sell, distribute, build and sell.”
Activist and politician Aisha Yesufu has been a scathing critic of President Bola Tinubu, branding him an “evil man” amid the continuing economic challenges facing Nigeria.
Mr Yesufu’s comments were in response to recent remarks by Senator Ali Ndume, who blamed the president’s inner circle for the country’s economic woes.
Senator Ndume, who represents South Borno, said certain individuals surrounding Tinubu were responsible for implementing “harmful policies” that worsened the economic situation rather than addressing pressing issues such as inflation and exchange rate stability. He expressed concern that there is.
He highlighted the alarming rise in the prices of fuel, food and essential goods and called on the government to take immediate action.
Mr. Yesufu echoed Mr. Ndume’s opinion, stressing that the current state of the economy is poorly reflected in the leadership at the helm.
The activist criticized the Tinubu administration for failing to alleviate the suffering of ordinary Nigerians, arguing that the president’s decisions and those around him are detrimental to the welfare of the country.
