Popular activist Aisha Yesufu officially joins the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) and announces plans to contest the FCT senatorial seat ahead of the 2027 elections.
Prominent Nigerian activist and advocate for good governance, Aisha Yesufu, has officially resigned from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and joined the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).
Shortly after announcing her defection, Yesufu declared her intention to contest for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) senatorial seat in the 2027 general elections.
The development is already attracting widespread reactions across political and civic spaces, with many describing her move into active partisan politics as a significant moment ahead of the next election cycle.
Aisha Yesufu gained national prominence through her vocal advocacy on accountability, transparency, youth participation, and democratic reforms in Nigeria. Her decision to align with the NDC is believed to be part of a broader strategy to pursue political change through direct participation.
Political observers believe her entrance into the FCT senatorial race could reshape political conversations within the territory as preparations for the 2027 elections gradually intensify.
