Aisha Yesufu, a rights activist, has pledged to persist in endorsing the presidential aspirations of Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) candidate. Yesufu clarified that her support for Obi is not based on shared religion, tribe, or gender, but on his potential to lead Nigeria effectively.
In a post on X, Yesufu expressed her commitment, stating, “In politics, ‘your own’ is not determined by shared religion, tribe, or gender; it is about someone who can deliver good governance. Peter Obi, I would never advocate for him as an Imam in a mosque, but as the President of Nigeria, he has my unwavering support, even if I happen to be his sole supporter.”
She emphasized her dedication to supporting Obi’s presidential ambitions, regardless of the challenges. Yesufu highlighted Obi as the candidate capable of liberating Nigeria from those hindering its progress. In her words, “If he chooses to run a thousand times, I will back him a thousand times. I am prepared to invest my efforts repeatedly because he represents the commitment needed to rescue Nigeria from those who have held it back.”
Yesufu concluded by emphasizing her determination, stating, “My focus is on my efforts. I will not give up just because a victory was unfairly taken. Instead, I am focused on ensuring that the next time, the victory is secured. Quitting is never an option. I am resolute in this cause.”

Speaking at a press briefing in Abuja on Tuesday, the party’s National Chairman, Prince Chinedu Obi, said NRM is focused on building a strong platform that will produce a credible presidential candidate capable of challenging the incumbent government in 2027.
Responding to questions from journalists, Obi reiterated that the party would contest the elections independently, stressing: “We are not planning to merge with any political party or join any coalition. We will produce our own presidential candidate.”
He also claimed that the Federal High Court had resolved the party’s internal dispute following the dismissal of an appeal filed by a faction led by Chief Edozie Njoku.
According to him, NRM now stands as one of the strongest political parties in the country, insisting that reports of internal crisis were false and influenced by non-members.
Obi added that the party is open to supporting credible aspirants for various elective positions in the 2027 elections.
He further maintained that the NRM is determined to present itself as a “rescue platform” for Nigeria’s current challenges, urging Nigerians to take the party seriously ahead of the polls.
