This Is A Joke!” – Aisha Yesufu Mocks ADC Coalition For Ignoring Nigeria’s Young And Female Voices

Renowned socio-political activist and co-convener of the #BringBackOurGirls campaign, Aisha Yesufu, has sharply criticised the newly formed African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition, accusing it of lacking inclusivity in its leadership.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Yesufu, a prominent supporter of Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, voiced her disappointment on Wednesday, citing the ongoing exclusion of women and young people from critical political decision-making roles.

Taking to her verified account, Yesufu condemned the male-dominated structure of the coalition’s leadership. She argued that appointing women and youths merely as “leaders” for their gender or age groups was inadequate and superficial.

“Dear Coalition (ADC), assigning the roles of ‘women leader’ and ‘youth leader’ doesn’t cut it. A table filled with elderly men shouldn’t be the only voices directing our political future. Women and youths must be at the heart of decision-making—not afterthoughts or symbolic figures,” she wrote.

A vocal advocate for accountability and good governance, Yesufu called on young Nigerians and women to take a more active role in shaping political parties from within.

“Dear women and youth, now is the time to leverage your numbers. Be loud. Be present. Join! Become leaders, delegates, and active members. Flood the system with fresh, out-of-the-box ideas. Create impact from the inside.”
