Nigerian activist cum politician, Aisha Yesufu, has said she is not a card-carrying member of the Labour Party, LP, or any other political party.
News360 Info recalls that Aisha was a member of the 2023 LP presidential campaign council.
However, in an interview with Nigerian journalist, Seun Okinbaloye, on the ‘Mic On’ podcast, Aisha dismissed the insinuation of being a LP or any other party member.
The co-convener of the ‘BringBackOurGirls’ also stated that she had never sought an appointment from any politician because she works for her financial independence.
She said, “For me, I worked on my financial independence before I started speaking on the Nigerian issues.
“I am not a member of the Labour Party. I have never been a card carrying member of any party.
“I dare anybody; living or dead to say that I, Aisha Yesufu, have ever been to your place to look for appointment, contract or whatever. I am a trader! I buy, I sell, I distribute, build and sell houses.”
‘Tinubu A Bad Person’
In a scathing critique of President Bola Tinubu, activist and politician Aisha Yesufu has labelled the president a “bad person” amid the ongoing economic challenges facing Nigeria.
Yesufu’s comments come in response to recent remarks made by Senator Ali Ndume, who attributed the nation’s economic woes to the president’s close associates.
Senator Ndume, representing Borno South, had expressed his concerns that certain individuals surrounding Tinubu are responsible for implementing “harmful policies” that have exacerbated the economic situation rather than addressing pressing issues like inflation and stabilizing the exchange rate.
He highlighted the alarming rise in prices of fuel, food, and essential goods, urging the administration to take immediate action.
Yesufu echoed Ndume’s sentiments, emphasizing that the current state of the economy reflects poorly on the leadership at the helm.
The activist criticized Tinubu’s government for failing to alleviate the suffering of ordinary Nigerians, asserting that the president’s decisions and those he surrounds himself with are detrimental to the country’s welfare.
