Activist and Federal Capital Territory (FCT) senatorial aspirant, Aisha Yesufu, has dismissed suggestions that FCT Minister Nyesom Wike would be a major factor in her political ambitions, insisting that her focus remains on securing the mandate of the people rather than contending with political appointees.
Yesufu, who was a former member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), spoke during an interview on Sunday Politics.
Yesufu said her immediate priority was clinching the senatorial ticket of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The activist urged Abuja residents and members of the NDC to support her during the party primaries, stressing that public popularity alone would not guarantee victory without active participation from supporters.
