Yesufu and Odinkalu Slam Sani Over Obi's Support Remarks

Aisha Yesufu, a member of the African Democratic Congress and former chairman of the National Human Rights Commission, publicly criticized Shehu Sani, a former federal lawmaker and senator, for his remarks about Peter Obi's support base. Sani made comments during a podcast interview, suggesting that Obi's backing in the 2022 elections was largely based on ethnic lines.

Yesufu described Sani's remarks as "laughable" and "pathetic," emphasizing the inappropriateness of attributing Obi's support to tribal affiliations. Chidi Odinkalu, who reposted Sani's interview, also reacted to the comments, indicating a broader disapproval of Sani's perspective on the matter.

The exchange highlights ongoing discussions about tribalism and political support in Nigeria, particularly in the context of the recent elections.
