Nigerian activist Aisha Yesufu has resigned from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and joined the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC). She has also declared her intention to contest for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) senatorial seat in the 2027 general elections.<\/p>\n
Yesufu announced this in a statement on her X handle, linking her decision to a clearer vision for Nigeria’s future and her continued support for former presidential candidate Peter Obi, who recently joined the NDC as well.<\/p>\n
“The next couple of days will define the future of this nation. This deeper understanding is why I resigned from the ADC to join the NDC as I follow the leadership of HE Peter Obi, who today embodies the hope and aspiration of a Nigeria that works,” she stated.<\/p>\n
She explained that her initial support for Obi led her to the ADC, and her latest move is a continuation of that commitment.<\/p>\n
“When I give my word, I keep it. My decision to support HE Peter Obi first led me to the ADC. To continue to honour the promise I am joining the NDC,” she said.<\/p>\n
The activist confirmed she will be contesting for the FCT senatorial seat on the NDC platform.<\/p>\n
“This time I am joining the NDC not just as a member but as one running for the FCT Senatorial seat,” she noted.<\/p>\n
Yesufu said she has concluded her responsibilities in the ADC, describing the exit as a clean transition. She thanked party members for the opportunity to serve in various roles, including as sub-committee chair, deputy committee chair, and secretary at different levels.<\/p>\n
“I was fortunate to work with great and amazing people whose goal was a better country,” she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
