Ahead of the 2023 general election, Social activist, Aisha
Yesufu, on Friday, called on Nigerians to commence donations for their
candidates.
Yesufu, who made the call in a post on her Twitter handle,
maintained that candidates should not be allowed to fund their campaigns.
“Imagine if one million people donated N1000 every week
until the election. That will be N1 billion weekly. It can even be a healthy
competition to see which state is donating the most.
“We must put our money where our votes are! We should not
expect candidates to fund campaigns.
The renowned activist on June 10, 2022, revealed her support
for the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi.
Yesufu’s advice can be likened to the discussion on
political structure, and which candidate has it in order to win at the polls in
Nigeria.
While some maintain that some political parties or
candidates lack the structure to compete against other popular parties, funding
a candidate of choice can also be seen by some as building a structure. This is
as some Nigerians opine that the issue of structure is not given, but can be
built.
