Aisha Yesufu Denies Affiliation With Labour Party

Aisha Yesufu Denies Affiliation With Labour PartyNigerian activist and politician Aisha Yesufu has clarified that she is not a card-carrying member of the Labour Party (LP) or any other political party. Although she was part of the LP’s presidential campaign council in 2023, she emphasized her independence in a recent interview with journalist Seun Okinbaloye on the ‘Mic On’ podcast.

Yesufu, co-founder of the ‘Bring Back Our Girls’ movement, firmly rejected any insinuations of party membership. She stated, “For me, I worked on my financial independence before I started speaking on Nigerian issues. I am not a member of the Labour Party. I have never been a card-carrying member of any party. I dare anybody—living or dead—to say that I, Aisha Yesufu, have ever approached them for an appointment, contract, or anything else. I am a trader! I buy, sell, distribute, and build houses.”

“Tinubu a Bad Person”

In a strong critique of President Bola Tinubu, Yesufu described the president as a “bad person” amid Nigeria’s ongoing economic challenges. Her remarks were made in response to Senator Ali Ndume’s comments attributing the nation’s economic woes to Tinubu’s close associates.

Senator Ndume, representing Borno South, expressed concern that individuals surrounding Tinubu are responsible for implementing harmful policies that have worsened the economic situation rather than addressing pressing issues like inflation and the stabilizing of the exchange rate. He highlighted the alarming increases in prices for fuel, food, and essential goods, calling for immediate action from the administration.

Yesufu echoed Ndume’s sentiments, arguing that the current economic state reflects poorly on the leadership. She criticized Tinubu’s government for failing to alleviate the suffering of ordinary Nigerians, asserting that the president’s decisions and the influences around him are detrimental to the country’s welfare.
