Foremost Nigerian activist and social critic, Aisha Yesufu,
has said it is in the hands of the Nigerian people to do away with the present
political class that hasn’t worked and vote in competent leaders.
In a series of tweets, Thursday afternoon, via her verified
Twitter handle @AishaYesufu, Yesufu said Nigerians cannot keep voting in the
same people and expect a different result.
Using education as a point of reference, where ASUU has been
on strike for six months, she said with the present debacle in the education
sector, Nigerians cannot keep voting in the same people and expect a different
result.
“Going into the 2019 election, there was ASUU strike. Going
into the 2023 election, there is ASUU strike. You cannot keep voting in the
same people and expect a different result, she said.
Making reference to a reposted video she did a year ago
titled ‘the future project: young and emerging leaders, Yesufu, advised
Nigerians not to listen to anyone telling them that they cannot make their
candidate win.
“I did this video a year ago. It seemed almost impossible
then that what is happening now would happen. I am so glad that Nigerians are
saying #EnoughisEnough, she added.
She further advised Nigerians to do away with inept leaders
and go for competence and capacity.
“Nigerian people, it’s in our hands to do away with the
political class that hasn’t worked and vote in leaders on the basis of
competence, character, capacity and compassion. Nigeria is worth fighting for,
Nigeria is worth standing for” she added.
Yesufu has been an advocate of good governance and social justice
in Nigeria.
