Aisha Yesufu, an activist and social critic, has stated that the number of governors in a political party will not dictate success in 2027. She noted that the fervour with which Nigerians desire change in the country is driving the increasing support for the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
On Channels Television’s Politics, Yesufu made the comments in an interview. Today, she addressed the state of politics in the country and the enthusiasm that the party is receiving from the Nigerian people.
Many Nigerians, she claims, are ready to join a movement that they think may bring about change, and the enthusiasm around the ADC is evidence of that.
“With God’s grace, we Nigerians are going to accomplish this,” she declared.
A party’s political power is not dictated by its number of governors, as Yesufu pointed out. He also pointed out that having more governors has not necessarily ensured election success in Nigeria.
“President Tinubu has already lost the 2027 presidential election, so he’s assembling all of Nigeria’s governors to give the impression that they have power.”
“There was a time when the PDP had twenty-odd governors. “When the time came, they still lost the election,” she remarked.
She maintained that popular support is the only metric that counts in politics.
The rising interest in ADC activities, she continued, is indicative of the public’s increasing excitement.
“However, the level of enthusiasm that the ADC has generated is evident,” she said.
Also, the activist found the current scenario in Nigeria to be quite alarming.
At this very moment, Nigeria is a hiccup. When asked about economic and security-related matters, Yesufu stated that nothing was functioning.
Furthermore, many Nigerians are concerned about security and the general course of government, which has left the nation seemingly paralysed, she said.
“Nigeria has ground to a halt. “Nothing is happening, and there is no governance,” she proclaimed.
Nevertheless, Yesufu emphasised that the ADC is prepared to take the lead if given the chance and pledged to address public concerns.
“Many here are claiming that we will pay attention, and I can assure you that we will always pay attention to Nigerians,” she declared.
Concerned that people in rural areas might not be able to participate in online political participation, Yesufu shot down the concept, stating that communication networks are available across the country.
It’s impossible to be in Nigeria and not have access to the internet, she assured us.
She went on to say that the party is accommodating those without internet access by letting them register in person at the local level.
At the wards, we also maintain physical forms. She also mentioned that the forms can be filled out and uploaded from that location.
