Seriake Dickson Is Competing With Peter Obi – Aisha Yesufu

Aisha Yesufu

Popular activist Aisha Yesufu has come out to blast the NDC’s national leader, Senator Seriake Dickson. She recently had her say via a post on X while responding to comments he made during an interview on ARISE NEWS.

Responding to Seriake criticizing some Obi supporters for backing the former Labour Party aspirant and belittling the NDC, Aisha stated that Dickson is sounding like he was in competition with his own party’s presidential candidate.

Tagging him insecure and fragile, Yesufu added that she found a portion of the interview painfully appalling to watch.

Her words, “This part of the interview was so painfully appalling to watch. It looked as if you were insecure and in competition with your presidential candidate.

Your first one-on-one interview after the primaries, and instead of selling your candidates and giving confidence to people on how set the road to winning the 2027 election was, you made it about yourself.

While I took my time to properly address your allusion to me not playing by the rules, which I consider very disingenuous seeing how I followed the process, and even when you had insisted there would be no primaries for the Senate, I let things go and asked my teeming supporters to focus on the bigger picture.

With all due respect, sir, it looks as if you consider the NDC a special purpose vehicle whose aim has been achieved just by being registered instead of a political party whose aim is to win the 2027 general election decisively.

As a leader of a political party, your number one job in that interview was to pacify aspirants, many of whom are rightfully aggrieved, and secondly to call on supporters to bear with the party and support it, but you ended up antagonising the very people you would need to win an election. Every vote counts! A leader must stoop to conquer!

There is a whole battle ahead of us. Rescuing Nigeria from the current state it is in should be the main focus, not people’s fragile ego!”

WOW.
