2027 Will Favour Peter Obi, Not 2023 — Aisha Yesufu Boldly Predicts.
Prominent human rights advocate and social crusader, Aisha Yesufu, has declared that Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, stands a far better chance of winning the 2027 general election than he did in 2023.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Speaking in Umuahia, Abia State, during an interactive session with journalists at the Girls’ Summit organised by the Protect The Precious Foundation, Yesufu expressed confidence that the growing support for Obi across the country has strengthened his political momentum ahead of 2027.
According to Nivo News, the activist noted that many Nigerians who were initially sceptical about Obi’s message have now embraced his ideology, recognizing the integrity and consistency he represents.
“Peter Obi has more hope in 2027 than in 2023. Back then, people mocked him, saying only four persons were tweeting for him. Yet despite the rigging that took place, he garnered over six million votes and even won without a single councillor,” she stated.
Yesufu added that Obi’s followership has significantly expanded, attributing it to increased political awareness among Nigerians who now better understand his vision for good governance. She urged citizens to ensure their votes count, insisting that true change would only come when Nigerians defend their mandate.
“When you vote, make sure your vote is counted and recorded for your candidate. Otherwise, it’s just an exercise in futility,” she advised.
On the issue of electoral integrity, Yesufu said she had no expectations from the newly appointed INEC Chairman-designate, arguing that the challenge lies not in the institution but in the individuals who manipulate the system.
“I don’t have any task for him because even the President that appointed him shouldn’t be there in the first place. The problem isn’t INEC, it’s the people working there — our brothers, sisters, and relatives. We must ensure they refuse bribes and resist manipulation,” she said.
The activist lamented the absence of meaningful electoral reforms as the nation approaches 2027, describing the next election as a decisive battle for Nigeria’s survival.
“Nothing has been done to reform the process. Nigerians must understand that 2027 is a fight for our lives,” she warned.
Addressing Nigeria’s broader challenges, Yesufu dismissed the belief that the country’s woes are spiritual, asserting that bad governance, corruption, and poor leadership are the true causes of the nation’s suffering.
“People are dying from bad policies and corruption, not witchcraft. What we need is competent, selfless leaders with character and capacity,” she said.
On advocacy for the girl child, Yesufu condemned the continuous neglect of girls’ rights and welfare in Nigeria, calling for stronger laws and stricter punishments for gender-based violence.
“We must criminalize rape, punish offenders, and empower victims to speak out. Rape can be eradicated if treated as a serious crime, not brushed aside as it often is,” she asserted.

They insisted that the INEC chairman should be removed, alleging concerns over credibility and trust in the electoral process as the country prepares for the next election cycle.
The protest drew attention from passersby and security personnel, as the group maintained their position that electoral reforms and leadership changes were necessary to restore public confidence.
Sir Uyi has responded strongly to critics of his involvement in nightclub businesses, insisting that such ventures represent only a small part of his wider activities.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In a firm reaction to recent criticism linked to Vaniti, he stated that people are focusing too much on his nightlife businesses while ignoring other aspects of his work and achievements.
He stressed that his nightclub operations do not define his entire identity or professional portfolio, adding that he is involved in several other ventures beyond entertainment and hospitality.
According to him, the criticism reflects a narrow perception of what he does, and he believes his broader contributions are being overlooked.
Sir Uyi maintained that he remains focused on his various commitments despite public scrutiny surrounding his nightlife business interests.

The victims, which included candidates of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) heading to Otukpo for their examinations, have all been successfully rescued.
Speaking while briefing Governor Hyacinth Alia in Makurdi during the presentation of the freed victims, the Commissioner of Police, Ifeanyi Emenari, said the rescue operation was achieved through coordinated efforts of multiple security agencies.
He explained that five of the abducted passengers were first released, while the remaining 13 were rescued on Sunday morning without injuries.
According to him, the combined pressure from security forces, supported by the state government and the Inspector-General of Police, led to the successful outcome of the operation.
Emenari further disclosed that eight suspects are currently in custody, adding that seven of them are strongly linked to the kidnapping incident, with some victims already identifying them.
He also noted that clearance operations have begun across forest areas in the state to flush out criminal groups, in line with directives from security authorities.
Governor Hyacinth Alia, while receiving the rescued passengers, expressed concern over rising cases of kidnapping in the state but welcomed the safe return of all 18 victims.
He confirmed that among those rescued were eight candidates on their way to write examinations, and called on the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to reschedule the affected exams for them.
The governor assured that the state government remains committed to supporting the victims and strengthening security across Benue State, while also urging residents to provide credible information to security agencies.
He further directed the state health authorities to conduct medical evaluations for all rescued persons and promised government support for those affected.
