Nigerian activist and businesswoman, Aisha Yesufu, has publicly declared that she is not a card-carrying member of the Labour Party or any other political party.
On Saturday, Yesufu made this statement on Seun Okinbaloye’s podcast, Mic On, where she emphasized her financial independence and lack of interest in seeking appointments or contracts.
As a prominent voice in Nigeria’s activism scene, Yesufu has been involved in various movements, including #BringBackOurGirls and End SARS protests. Her independence, she stressed, stems from her business ventures.
Despite serving on the 2023 Labour Party presidential campaign council, Yesufu has now clarified her non-partisan status.
The activist’s declaration aims to set the record straight and reassure the public of her unbiased stance on national issues.
According to Yesufu: “For me, I worked on my financial independence before I started speaking on the 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 been to your place to look for appointment, contract or whatever. I am a trader! I buy, I sell, I distribute, build and sell houses.”
