Socio-political activist Aisha Yesufu has emphasized that electoral victories are not secured through online hype or malicious gossip. Instead, she champions genuine interaction with voters, rooted in understanding, kindness, and reverence.
In a Wednesday post on X, she addressed members of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) and her backers as the party gears up for its Senate primaries in the Federal Capital Territory. Yesufu stressed that success in politics demands door-to-door engagement, not virtual shouting matches.
She wrote, “An election isn’t won by social media noise or a dirty campaign. It is won by connecting with the people you aim to serve, treating them with dignity and genuine care.”
The activist called on registered NDC members in the FCT to stay focused on party building and selecting candidates who truly represent their goals. She declared that the days of voting out of intimidation are over; now, choices must spring from bravery and the conviction that authority resides with the populace.
Yesufu further urged her backers to intensify mobilization across all 62 wards in the territory, asserting that her team is primed for the primary contests. “To my supporters spread across the FCT, don’t lose heart—keep up your groundwork in every ward. We are set to face them on the primary battlefield,” she added. She concluded with a rhetorical question: “Who is afraid of primaries?”
