Activist Aisha Yesufu has declared that supporters of the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) will adopt a more determined approach ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Speaking at the NDC Lagos Town Hall Meeting, Yesufu said the movement would combine discipline with firmness as it prepares for the next electoral contest.
Reflecting on the 2023 general elections, she said supporters were refined at the time but would be both refined and rugged in 2027.
“In 2023, we were refined. In 2027, we will be refined and rugged,” she declared.
Yesufu also stressed that Nigerians are citizens, not slaves, insisting that political participation and leadership accountability are fundamental democratic rights.
She further argued that the campaign should not be viewed as the personal political project of former presidential candidate Peter Gregory Obi, but as a collective movement driven by citizens.
“This campaign is not Mr Peter Gregory Obi’s campaign. It is our campaign,” she said.
The activist urged supporters to remain courageous, united and committed, declaring that they would not be intimidated or discouraged from pursuing their political objectives.
Her remarks come as political activities and consultations gather momentum ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The NDC Lagos Town Hall Meeting provided a platform for discussions on political participation, citizen engagement and the movement’s direction as the country approaches another election cycle.
