A chat with Aisha Yesufu

In this episode of the Mic On Podcast, Seun Okinbaloye speaks with political activist and BBOG co-convener Aisha Yesufu, who delivers a blunt assessment of Nigeria’s leadership and the state of governance under President Bola Tinubu. She says the country lacks direction and argues that public frustration cuts across regions, driven by lived realities rather than party loyalty.

Yesufu explains her alignment with the ADC as a strategic move, not an emotional one, describing the coalition as united enough to challenge the APC in 2027. While admitting that Peter Obi influenced her decision, she insists her loyalty is to competence and accountability, not party sentiment.

She strongly backs Obi as the most credible opposition candidate, dismissing claims that he cannot win Northern votes and predicting internal fractures within the APC ahead of 2027. For Yesufu, the coming election hinges on credible leadership and the integrity of the process, which she believes will define Nigeria’s future.
