2027: Why You Won’t See Me Campaigning Around With Peter Obi Like 2022 — Aisha Yesufu

Social activist and prominent supporter of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Aisha Yesufu, has detailed why she will not be traveling extensively alongside Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi leading up to the 2027 general election, contrasting her upcoming approach with her heavy involvement in the 2023 presidential campaign.

Yesufu clarified that her primary focus ahead of 2027 will center on voter mobilization, organizing for election day, and safeguarding votes at the polling units instead of joining Obi on active campaign trails.

The activist shared this update via a video clip uploaded to her official Facebook page on Sunday.

According to Yesufu, her widespread participation during Obi’s 2023 run was primarily designed to prove to Nigerians that Obi represented all citizens rather than belonging to any single ethnic or religious faction.

She noted that this past campaign succeeded in expanding Obi’s national appeal, especially among individuals who initially questioned his viability in the 2023 race.

Yesufu stated that her core objective heading into the 2027 cycle involves rallying supporters to guarantee that every vote cast for Obi receives accurate tabulation and rigorous protection throughout the voting procedure.

She encouraged supporters to establish strong networks right at the polling units and synchronize their efforts to supervise voting, counting, and collation procedures.

Additionally, she advised voters to familiarize themselves with how results get documented and to stay watchful against potential mistakes or tampering during result entry phases.

“Your vote that you voted, it must be entered. You must see it manually entered. Follow it. Escort your vote from your polling unit to the ward collation centre,” she said.

Yesufu explained that while she would still campaign with Obi whenever necessary, she would not make traveling with him from state to state her primary focus.

“There are so many other things that I am doing. I am going to be doing so you might not get out as much as possible to ensure that I’m doing this,” she said.

She also pointed out that other young Nigerians are actively contributing to the broader political movement through avenues like voter mobilization, photography, content creation, and alternative support tasks.
