Human rights activist Aisha Yesufu says Nigerians should not vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 elections, arguing that doing so would allow terrorism to continue. In a statement posted on her verified X account on Sunday, Yesufu—who is a former Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) senatorial aspirant for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT)—links her warning to what she describes as worsening insecurity across Nigeria. She specifically points to incidents of killings and abductions, and she frames her message as a response to rising public frustration ahead of the 2027 polls.
Yesufu urges eligible voters, particularly those aged 18 and above, to register and obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs). She also calls on citizens to participate actively in the electoral process, arguing that voting is important to address the current security challenges. Both outlets report that she reiterates her position that supporting APC in 2027 is effectively supporting the continuation of terrorist activity, according to her assessment of the current situation.
