Socio-political activist, Aisha Yesufu has declared that
elections cannot be won through social media propaganda or orchestrated smear
campaigns.
Yesufu made the remark in a post on her X handle on
Wednesday while addressing members of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, and
her supporters ahead of the party’s primaries in the FCT.
According to her, 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 members of the NDC in the FCT
to remain focused on promoting the party and electing candidates capable of
representing 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?”
