Aisha Yesufu, a Nigerian activist and supporter of Peter Obi, has indeed stated that she would work against any ticket that features Peter Obi as a running mate in the 2027 presidential election.
This stance is reportedly due to her perception that women are often relegated to deputy positions, and she believes Peter Obi would be better suited as a presidential candidate rather than a running mate.
Aisha Yesufu has expressed her determination to oppose any ticket with Peter Obi as a running mate in a recent video she posted on X. She cited concerns about women’s roles in politics. She highlighted the tendency to put women or less prominent figures in deputy positions, suggesting that capable individuals like Peter Obi should lead instead.
Notably, Peter Obi has declared his intention to run for president in 2027, which might align with Aisha Yesufu’s preference for him to lead rather than be a running mate.
