Aisha Yesufu Calls for Revolution on Election Day

Activist Aisha Yesufu declared that there is no better day for revolution than election day, advocating for Nigerians to vote for the right candidates to improve their circumstances. In an interview on Symfoni TV, Yesufu asserted that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is not the core issue of Nigeria's electoral challenges; rather, it is the individuals working within the organization.

She emphasized the necessity for elections to be free, fair, and credible, reflecting the true will of the people, and criticized the discrepancies observed in the 2023 presidential election results compared to those of the National Assembly polls. Yesufu urged Nigerians to compel INEC to maintain democratic integrity rather than relying on its voluntary cooperation.

She warned that on election day, citizens should be prepared to take to the streets, stating, “Nobody is going to work. Nobody is traveling.

Everybody will be there,” to ensure that the revolution called for can occur.
