NDC national leader Seriake Dickson says he and Peter Obi offered activist Aisha Yesufu a ticket to run for the House of Representatives, but she rejected it. Dickson makes the claim while speaking at an NDC stakeholders’ meeting in Abuja. According to Dickson, Yesufu turned down the offer ahead of the 2027 elections.
The reports agree that Dickson attributes the rejection to Yesufu’s assessment of the position. One account states that she told them she was “too big” for the House of Representatives role. The story also references recent internal political disagreements within the NDC, along with a prior post by Yesufu on her verified X account that questioned Dickson’s approach to internal conflicts.
Overall, all sources present Dickson’s disclosure as his explanation for why Yesufu is not expected to contest on an NDC House of Reps ticket, with the core points centered on the offer and her refusal, as described at the Abuja meeting.
