Dear Aisha Yesufu,
@AishaYesufu
Throughout this period, I have deliberately stayed silent online because I have access to you, and I know firsthand what has transpired.
Every day, your message has remained the same: “Mercy, forget this. Let’s focus on the bigger picture. Let’s support the party. We have a presidency to win. We have years ahead of us to contribute and participate fully.”
Through it all, you have consistently chosen the path of encouraging your supporters to remain calm and focused on the mission ahead.
Today, however, I feel compelled to speak because it is unfortunate that some key figures within the party, especially in the media space, would rather attack your character than work towards a common goal.
One particular issue caught my attention: your decision to reject an automatic House of Representatives ticket.
Rejecting a ticket that would have displaced others and been handed to you without contest or consensus is a rare act in Nigerian politics. You chose principle over privilege, fairness over favoritism. That decision has multiplied my respect for you and further proven that you are truly different.
It speaks to your integrity, your commitment to justice, and your belief in the values you preach.
Today, I want to publicly acknowledge that I am proud to be your supporter. The lessons I learn from you, your courage, your principles, and your resilience, will remain valuable to me for years to come. As someone who is also interested in politics, I draw inspiration from your example and hope to carry those values forward.
Stay strong. Keep your head high. We are with you, and we stand firmly behind you.
With admiration and respect.
