Human rights activist, Aisha Yesufu, has called on the opposition political parties to unify under the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Yesufu made the call in a statement posted on her verified X
handle on Wednesday, saying such a move does not mean surrendering the various
political parties.
She said that 2027 will not be won by the party with the
loudest supporters but by the side that learns to assemble itself, stressing
that Obi is not a candidate of one camp but a candidate with the strongest
record on the ballot.
According to her, President Bola Tinubu was declared winner
of the 2023 general elections with 36 percent of votes, noting that the
opposition took the rest.
She called on the opposition to form a formidable force,
stressing that the math has never been a problem but has favoured the
opposition.
The co-convener of the BringBackOurGirls Movement lamented
the split among the opposition.
“Peter Obi is not the candidate of one camp. Unifying under
him is not surrender. It is strategy. And unifying does not mean dissolving
your party, your platform, or your principles.
“If you are a party operative, an organiser, a fundraiser, a
strategist sitting inside one of the opposition parties, we have a coordination
channel for you.
“Not to replace what you are doing, but to connect it. We
have to be unified by something stronger,” she wrote.
