Prominent human rights campaigner Aisha Yesufu has declared that she will not tolerate any attempt to manipulate the electoral process as she gears up for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Senate seat in the 2027 general elections.
During an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, Yesufu stated that she will match any underhanded tactics with fierce opposition. “If they go low, I will go underground,” she warned, emphasizing her readiness to counter rigging.
She expressed strong faith in the electorate of the FCT, asserting that residents are determined and will not allow anyone to force a candidate upon them. “I will not engage in any illegality. I am not going to steal anybody’s vote,” she affirmed.
“When it comes to the general election, Abuja residents are resolute in their choice. Nobody has the right to impose anyone on the people of Abuja,” Yesufu added.
The activist, who recently switched from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to the National Democratic Coalition (NDC), reiterated that she is not someone to be easily overpowered. “Nobody has a monopoly on anyhowness. I don’t think I look like someone who can be walked over,” she said confidently.
