Aisha Yesufu has condemned attacks on the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, by some politicians.
She was reacting to a recent statement by former federal lawmaker Senator Shehu Sani.
The former lawmaker had, in a podcast interview, claimed that Obi’s supporters are tribal, stating that all those backing his presidential ambition are from his ethnic background.
Sani said, “The support for Peter Obi is tribal. Many of those supporting him are people who come from his ethnic background.
“If Peter Obi becomes President of Nigeria today, nothing will change, everything will be the same.”
Reacting, Aisha Yesufu in a post on her official X handle on Monday, described Shehu Sani’s comment as laughable.
She wrote, “The orchestrated attacks against Peter Obi @PeterObi is laughable at best and pathetic at worst! The lie that his support base is tribal died in 2022.
“We proved beyond reasonable doubt that the 4 people that were tweeting in the room in 2022 were from the 4 corners of the country!
“If Peter Obi was not a threat to their illegitimate occupation of the seat of power, APC and their supporters would not have made Peter Obi their fascination that they talk about all the time.”
