National Democratic Congress (NDC) national leader Seriake Dickson says he and the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, offered activist Aisha Yesufu a House of Representatives ticket, but she rejected it. Dickson made the claim while speaking at an NDC stakeholders’ meeting in Abuja. The statement follows recent internal political disagreements within the party. According to Dickson, Yesufu declined the offer to run for the House, saying she is “too big for it,” remarks he attributes to her response. The reports also note that Yesufu had earlier commented on X that Dickson appears to be fighting a “war no one is waging” against him, in connection with the ongoing internal wranglings. While the accounts agree on Dickson’s disclosure and the context of internal tensions, they present the exchange from Dickson’s perspective and do not include an independent response from Yesufu or further details on the decision-making process beyond the reported refusal.
