Aisha Yesufu
Socio-political activist Aisha Yesufu has urged her supporters not to be swayed by social media smear campaigns as she prepares for the FCT primaries.
Yesufu stated this in a post she shared on 𝕏 on Wednesday while addressing members of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) and her supporters ahead of the party’s primaries in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
She dismissed propaganda against her, arguing that political victory can only be achieved through direct engagement with the electorate based on empathy, compassion and respect.
“Election is not won by social media propaganda nor by an orchestrated smear campaign. Election is won by engaging the electorate one wishes to serve respectfully and with empathy and compassion,” she wrote.
The activist urged registered NDCmembers in the FCT to remain focused on promoting the party and electing candidateswho can representg their interests.
She stated that the era of making political choices out of fear was over, adding that voters must now make decisions based on courage and belief in the principle that “power belongs to the people.”
Yesufu also charged her supporters to continue mobilisation efforts across the 62 wards in the FCT, insisting that her camp was prepared for the primaries.
“To my teeming supporters across the FCT, do not be deterred, continue your ground work across the 62 wards. We are ready to meet them on the primaries ground,” she added.
Repeating her stance, Yesufu asked: “Who is afraid of primaries?”
