Nigerian activist Aisha Yesufu has reaffirmed her unwavering support for the presidential ambition of Labour Party (LP) candidate Peter Obi.
In a statement posted on her X account, Yesufu emphasized that her backing for Obi stems from his potential to deliver good governance and transform Nigeria, not from any shared religious, tribal, or gender affiliations.
“Your own’ in politics is not one you share same religion, tribe or gender with. ‘Your own’ is one who can give you good governance,” Yesufu asserted, distancing herself from the notion of supporting candidates solely based on identity.
With unwavering conviction, Yesufu declared, “Mr Peter Obi @PeterObi, I will NEVER support him to be Imam of a mosque, but as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, he has my 100% support even if I end up being his only supporter.”

Her unwavering commitment to Obi’s candidacy is driven by her belief in his ability to lead Nigeria out of its current challenges.
“If he wants to run a thousand times, I will support him a thousand times. I will put in the work a thousand times and more. For in him is the person I see that is willing to put in the donkey work necessary to wrestle Nigeria from the jaws of those who have held it down,” Yesufu remarked.
Undeterred by past obstacles, Yesufu remains resolute in her determination to ensure that Obi’s presidential bid is not thwarted.
“My focus is on my effort. I have no business quitting because the win was stolen. I am focused on how to ensure that the win is not stolen next time. Giving up is never an option. We die here,” she declared with unwavering resolve.
Yesufu’s unwavering support for Obi reflects the growing desire for transformative leadership in Nigeria.
Her stance challenges the traditional notions of political patronage and highlights the importance of electing candidates based on their merit and ability to deliver positive change.
