Aisha Yesufu Defects to NDC, Declares FCT Senate Ambition

Nigeria’s political landscape in the Federal Capital Territory is set for a shake-up as Aisha Yesufu announces a major party switch and a fresh electoral ambition.

The activist confirmed her resignation from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and her move to the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), where she will be contesting for the FCT senatorial seat.

Making the announcement via her social media page, Yesufu said her decision is rooted in her continued political alignment with Peter Obi, whom she described as embodying a vision for a better Nigeria.

She explained that her earlier involvement with the ADC was also influenced by this alignment, and that her latest move is part of staying consistent with that commitment.

Yesufu emphasized that her entry into the NDC goes beyond membership, as she is now stepping forward as a candidate in the upcoming senatorial race in the FCT.

She noted that her exit from the ADC was smooth and properly concluded, adding that she remains grateful for the opportunity to work with members of the party during her time there.

While in the ADC, she served in multiple roles, contributing to party structures and internal activities, which she described as a valuable experience.

Known for her role in the #BringBackOurGirls movement and her active involvement in the 2023 elections, Yesufu’s latest political move is expected to shape opposition politics in the FCT as preparations for the next general elections gather momentum.
