Popular Nigerian activist and social critic, Aisha Yesufu,
has attacked the former deputy speaker of the House of Representatives, Emeka
Ihedioha, for his recent statement in which he labelled Peter Obi’s supporters
as saboteurs.
Recall that Ihedioha had said that Nigeria’s presidency
would rotate to the South-East after the administration of the presidential
candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, if he wins next
year’s election.
He also called those supporting Peter Obi and Labour Party
saboteurs.
Ihedioha, in the video, added that Nigeria could not afford
to make mistakes in the 2023 election and that there are two parties in the
election, the PDP and the All Progressives Congress.
Reacting to the statement by Ihedioha, the human rights
activist in a video said he (Ihedioha) had continuously kept everyone down so
he would be the only one riding at the top.
“You called citizens saboteurs because they dared to vote
for good governance, accountability, and transparency.
“You called citizens saboteurs because they dared to go with
a candidate who has competence, character, and capacity.
“You are sitting down there and telling people that it will
be the turn of Igbos after Atiku Abubakar. No, it will be your turn; that is
why you want people to go that way, even when they consider there is a better
candidate who happens to come from their region.
“We are not saboteurs; you are the saboteur. You and your
ilks are the saboteurs of Nigeria; those who have held our country back and
have only done what is in their interest,” she said.
